Jeremiah,
I'll try recompiling my PPC systems and report back. The symptom I saw using a PPC Linux frontend to a x86 Linux backend was the audio sounded like static. The video worked. Let me work on this in the next day or two and I'll report back.

OK, this is the endian status as far as I know it:
- Endian patches were submitted for both the frontend and the backend. The decision was to keep files in small-endian format, so PPC backends and frontends should be swapping bytes as they read/write. The endianness of the frontend vs. the backend should not matter.
- You need to make sure WORDS_BIGENDIAN is defined in settings.pro when building either a frontend or a backend on a big-endian machine. For libavcodec/libavformat, make sure configure is detecting your machine properly. You also need to be running a fairly recent CVS, the patches were not all checked in until post-0.16.
If the above is not true, then it's a bug. Neither Nigel or I have a PPC Linux machine for testing, so there may be bugs in the backend endian code. A Mac OS X frontend definitely works with an x86 backend.
Mino, make sure WORDS_BIGENDIAN is set properly on all your PPC machines, and try with current CVS. If you still have troubles, please provide more information so we can figure out why the current code isn't doing its job.
