</div>It's just that PV and VTK for a month or three now supported both the old<br>
outdated ffmpeg version from February 2007 or so (downloadable as a tarball from<br>
the addons section of the VTK software download website) AND the latest ffmpeg.<br>
Up to last Monday. Given the effort spent to re-add support for newer ffmpeg<br>
versions and considering that the change in ffmpeg that breaks it this time in<br>
PV is less complex to work around than last time (headers completely reworked),<br>
I think we shouldn't let go that easily.<br>

</div>I'm well aware of your contribution and compile ParaView with<br>
-DVTK_USE_OGGTHEORA_ENCODER:BOOL=ON -DVTK_USE_FFMPEG_ENCODER:BOOL=ON<br>
ever since you announced your git fork of PV on this mailing list, so even<br>
before ogv support has been added to the official source tree. :-) It's just<br>
that some of my users prefer avi over ogv.<br>
