I don't recall any ffmpeg known broken, except for unlucky and unpredictable svn snapshots, so basically you can use what version you want; please also note that real encoding is done by libx264: any version greater/equal than 56 should be good. Directly encoding from v4l source would be risky because the h264 codec is 1) very cpu intensive 2) not optimal for later editing; you'll need a FAST cpu or, better, a multicore cpu (even better: a fast multicore cpu :)) PS: please update at least to 1.0.5 Bests, -- Francesco Romani // Ikitt [ Out of memory. ~ We wish to hold the whole sky, ~ But we never will. ]
