Greetings all. --Vini -- thanks for your help. Indeed there was a path problem with libavformat which is fixed with the configure arguement options.
So, everything then configured and compiled correctly using the dev packages. HOWEVER, -y ffmpeg, null -F mpeg4 options first didn't work because ffmpeg didn't work with the xvid mpeg4. I went to here: http://www.debian-multimedia.org to get ffmpeg debian packages as well as xvidcore, xvidcore-dev packages. I added --enable-xvid. I then make clean; make; sudo make install once again and everything works as before EXCEPT I do notice that the CPU usage seems higher with same transcode command. *Might* this be due to using the deb packages or ? thanks all!
