A bit of history.. Between April 2008 and March 2009 I was the maintainer for the FFmpeg Windows DLL. I've provided the DLL from Blender releases 2.46 up to 2.49 RC. It was necessary to do a custom build because of some patches that were needed for Blender and not yet included in the official

Ton, libavcodec *is* FFmpeg. (Or part of it, anyway.) The problem that is claimed is that libfaac is included in Blender's version of libavcodec that is distributed with Blender 2.49. The solution is to compile FFmpeg / libavcodec without libfaac. (Throwing out x264 is not an option, as libfaac

Hi Ton, I checked ffmpeg code (0.6.1 - it should be there for some time though since version 0.5 I think)- if it is possible to link against ffmpeg 6.1 why not to use it?) and it contains native ( for ffmpeg) aac encoder it is there as a replacement for libfaac. It is of lower quality thought.

Carl and everyone else, I've done some checking of the FFmpeg integration in Blender 2.49b. I came up with the following: I can confirm that the default configuration for compiling FFmpeg into Blender has --enable-gpl set and no --enable-nonfree. So it *ought* to be all right. It is linked

No probs, dude. Regarding the 2.56 version - right now we have a libavcodec dll binary checked into SVN - there is no source code in the blender tree: https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/windows/ffmpeg/lib/ (We have ffmpeg binaries for other platforms checked in as well) I
