Linking of external ffmpeg is the issue. By its nature, gstreamer ffmpeg module has to have, reasonable defaults (bitrate, etc) for different codecs, available in ffmpeg. However codecs identifiers, changing in ffmpeg all the time, also new codecs are being added, that was the reason why gstreamer folks imported ffmpeg into the module itself. When you are linking with external ffmpeg, you could easily hit this codec identifier mismatch. As result you will often get errors - like "Unknown codec ID 86022, please add here", and such. Just run make regress in swfdec and you will see it. I am not an expert in ffmpeg and gstreamer, but this is how situation is seen to me. I am going to switch off gstreamer support in swfdec and turn back to linking with ffmpeg. Regards Valery.
