Hi,

H263 and H263+ codecs have been broken in ekiga for quite a while (maybe a 
year?) due to API changes in ffmpeg and x264.
I don't know if these codecs will work again with the upcoming 3.3. release, 
but they're really quite important for me.

They do not.

To avoid these kinds of problems in the future, wouldn't it feasible to ship 
the required ffmpeg and x264 version with
ekiga and link in these libs statically? Or it could be a compile option to use 
the shipped ffmpeg version or link
dynamically to what is installed on the system.

For Windows it is already the case. For gnu/linux, ekiga is provided by distributors, where these codecs are skipped. Maybe we should create/distribute a static ekiga with correct ffmpeg which work on all distributions? Do you have knowledge on how to do it?
