Dear Readers,

In case you have not noticed it yet, FFmpeg, x264 and maybe other
packages have changed (and are still changing) their API/ABI as well as
some structures. This causes that Cinelerra can't be compiled with
FFmpeg SVN version 15262 and higher. The x264 libraries have changed
too, but I still have to figure out which version is still usable. For
now I am using the tarball of 20080825-2245. Note: the 2245 is probably
a version number of some kind, but until this date, that number stays
the same while the library is not backwards compatible anymore.

Side Note: This causes also that the compilation of the most recent
mplayer (out of SVN) will fail if you use FFmpeg SVN r15261 or younger.

Q: Will there be any changes in the cinelerra SVN just to cope with
these changes?
Q: If not, is it not better to collect dependent libraries and place
them in some repository - with a clear notice - to be used with the
current SVN r1061? I know I will collect those functional sources to the
latest working versions and probably will offer them online in the near
future on my private server (no warranty about up-time).

Kind Regards,
Frans de Boer.

PS: cinelerra-4 is affected too by these changes, so it will put more
burden on the migration process.
