Yes.

That's the problem, the person has since updated his code. I guess I will 
try my binary search svn checkout idea... :-\

It's just that I am on BeOS, and it is very hard to get ffmpeg to compile 
on that platform (gcc 2.95.3). For example, the current version gives an 
internal compiler error on h263.c and it seems I cannot turn off that codec 
with the configure script. (I have not tried to investigate this issue 
more.)

So I was going to use the precompiled version I have. For which the 
surounding code I have is written anyways.

Best regards,
