[Bf-committers] FFMPEG Problem on Linux (Yes, I think it is a Blender problem).

[Juan Pablo Bouza]

Carsten, I'm on Kubuntu 10.04 and I had the same problem.
As you also found out, official builds work well.

I also fixed the problem with my builds though. I compiled FFMPEG 0.8 (without any additional libraries, which doesn't seem to really affect the encoding or decoding capabilities) and I pointed the scons compiler to my ffmpeg build. 
Everything works great now, no jagged edges anymore.

For compiling ffmpeg, I configured it with the  --prefix="/opt/ffmpeg" option so that it didn't overwrite the system's ffmpeg version. As blender didn't like the full library compilation of ffmpeg (with x264, direc, etc etc) I just compiled 2 different instances of ffmpeg, one for standalone usage with all the codecs, and another one with no extra stuff for blender.
