Hi.
Okay, I built ffmpeg version 0.8.3 as suggested :) The only gotcha is
for some bizarre reason the ubuntu forum instructions on how to compile
it bizarrely install everything to /usr/local/bin, so it is not found. I
simply added -prefix=/usr to the configure options and then it all works.
Thanks to everyone for their help :) I don't understand why Ubuntu
consistently ships such old versions of ffmpeg.

Failing that, I'll build the very latest from source. I'll let you know how

If you're rolling your own, be aware of this earlier post from dinkypumpkin:
"FFmpeg DIY warning":
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2011-September/001940.html
For anyone keeping score, the bug that prompted my ridiculously alarmist
posting has been patched:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2011-September/001945.html
However, I would still suggest pulling a tagged release for DIY builds
in order to have a little bit of assurance that glitches like the above
won't be present.
