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

Just to be clear, the entire decoding of motion picture footage for many
codecs is handled by ffmpeg.

So yes, this _was_ an ffmpeg issue. It lingered in Blender for anyone not
using updated ffmpegs I believe.

Blender should be fine with x264 etc. You will need to --enable-xxx to
access the various codecs in ffmpeg. This will likely also require a custom
x264.

The main issue I (and others) have encountered regarding ffmpeg installs is
residual libraries from a previous installation. The default system library
paths will trip up linkage if you are not careful.

Hope that helps,
