Comment (by cehoyos):

 If you know what codec to use calling avcodec_find_encoder_by_name() is
 correct afaict, av_guess_codec() is wrong (it can be useful if you don't
 know the short_name of the codec you want to use).
 Your code looks as if you had issues with avcodec_find_encoder_by_name()
 though: Which issues did you see?
