I just updated XviD from CVS, compiled and installed, and still get the
errors. The header which was installed does in fact contain those
members, but two of them have very slightly different names (vbvsize and
vbvinitial instead of vbv_size and vbv_initial), plus they're under
#ifdef VBV - and I don't see that defined anywhere in the FFmpeg source
tree. Adding it to the command line manually still fails on those two
slightly changed member names, but I suspect that correcting them would
fix it.
