Yes it is the only path. > > I tried 'const char*' in many places but that just caused more errors so I > just used 'char *' because the g++ compiler defaulted to using that > definition but then gave a warning message.

No, it is fixed like in commit '2010-03-12 e9f02b357ce4f6b5df7af178cc0b92f1febf5120 Fixed compiler warnings related to bchash'. Less than 10000 places to fix.

The call themselves '3rd party' and build rpms of programs not in official distributions. It is not bad. But everyting you install outside ofiicial distribution may have some quirks. Use at your own risk. > I'm currently working on upgrading the internal ffmpeg to version 0.8.2. > What should I do when I get a working build? Send patches to this ML. Try not to include changes of ffmpeg itself. Try not to break support of older versions. My idea is to exclude ffmpeg from cinelerra tree and use external ffmpeg. But I see a lot of complications there. At least it needs support of multiple different versions of ffmpeg.
