Man! I was hopeing that Yves sugestion of reverting to a non-cvs version fo ffmpeg would help. No dice though... I tried: ffmpeg-cvs with libquicktime-cvs ffmpeg-cvs with libquicktime-0.9.2 ffmpeg_cvs with libquicktime-0.9.2pre1 ffmpeg-0.4.8 with libquicktime-cvs ffmpeg-0.4.8 with libquicktime-0.9.2

I dont think there is a relationship between the various distros, bit there is perhaps with my configuration of ffmpeg. Heres what I configured ffmpeg with: /configure --prefix=/usr --enable-mp3lame --enable-vorbis --enable-shared --cpu=x86 --tune=i686

and libquicktime: /configure --prefix=/usr

ffmpeg installs fine, libquicktime gets: Making all in ffmpeg make[3]: Entering directory /usr/local/src/libquicktime-0.9.2/plugins/ffmpeg' source='ffmpeg.c' object='ffmpeg.lo' libtool=yes \ depfile='.deps/ffmpeg.Plo' tmpdepfile='.deps/ffmpeg.TPlo' \ depmode=gcc3 /bin/sh ../../depcomp \ /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../include/quicktime -I../../include -I../../include/ -O3 -funroll-all-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-loops=2 -falign-jumps=2 -falign-functions=2 -finline-functions -Wall -Wno-unused -Winline -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c -o ffmpeg.lotest -f 'ffmpeg.c' || echo './'ffmpeg.c mkdir .libs gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../include/quicktime -I../../include -I../../include/ -O3 -funroll-all-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-loops=2 -falign-jumps=2 -falign-functions=2 -finline-functions -Wall -Wno-unused -Winline -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c ffmpeg.c -MT ffmpeg.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/ffmpeg.TPlo -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ffmpeg.lo ffmpeg.c: In functionset_parameter_video': ffmpeg.c:108: structure has no member named aspect_ratio' ffmpeg.c:110: structure has no member namedaspect_ratio' ffmpeg.c:112: structure has no member named aspect_ratio' make[3]: *** [ffmpeg.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory/usr/local/src/libquicktime-0.9.2/plugins/ffmpeg' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory /usr/local/src/libquicktime-0.9.2/plugins' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory/usr/local/src/libquicktime-0.9.2' make: *** [all] Error 2

Any more suguestions? i really want to get this working! Arrgh!
