FFmpeg 1.1.2

Version 1.1 builds fine with many of the encoders linked in. I will test it with MPlayer, Xine, and VLC before I commit the update.

Please check Transcode, too. At least check if it builds.

[Randy McMurchy]

So far I've no trouble with this version of FFMpeg. Only need to test against Transcode as every other package has built fine. In fact, the sed command in the gegl instructions can be removed as current gegl builds fine against this version of FFMpeg. I have not built the gst-ffmpeg yet, however.

Sed in Gegl instructions doesn't fix compilation errors, but runtime errors. Without the sed, you'll get "undefined references" to some function when ffmpeg module gets used.

Replying to Krejzi:

Sed in Gegl instructions doesn't fix compilation errors, but runtime errors. Without the sed, you'll get "undefined references" to some function when ffmpeg module gets used.

Then I suppose the book should be more explicit with the "command explanation" for that sed. It says "Fixes building against FFMpeg 0.11.1" which means to me that it fixes building and not fixes run-time issues. We can avoid confusion if we are a bit more careful when making our entries in the book. Thanks for the update about that sed, I will leave it in the book.

Sorry for the delay with this ticket. I will get it done today.
