<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=812265619-21032009>Since the ffmpeg web
site was up again, I attempted the upgrade of ffmpeg in extern. Alas, it failed
for the same reasons I explained before: the Sconscript scans the ffmpeg
Makefiles and assumes that all the objects collected under $(OBJS) are .c files
but it is not true anymore: some asm files are now mixed up with the .c files.
While this is not a problem for make, which can handle mulitple dependency
rules, Sconscript with its simplistic assumptions fails to find the correct
source. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=812265619-21032009>So I'm giving up
upgrading ffmpeg to version 0.5. I have a patch that allows to compile
blender with the old and the new ffmpeg but I don't see the point of commiting
it (only useful for Windows where the new ffmpeg libs are available, but not yet
commited). </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=812265619-21032009>Somebody will have
to fix the mess with Scons if we want to upgrade to 0.5. For my part I've wasted
enough time on that.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
