Ian,

i want to thank you for writing what i don't have time to write.. ))

source, you just need it to compile PiDiP.

3. Untar PiDiP and ffmpeg.
4. Configuration is tricky. You need to set --with-pd, --with-pdp and

--with-ffmpeg to the directory where the base directories of their respective sources are. For me this is
