[Libav-user] Unable to find codec

[francesco at bltitalia.com]

I call at start the init and register:

  avcodec_init();
  // Register all formats and codecs
  av_register_all();


but it seems that the codec aren't registered.  I make an attempt using 

  pCodec=avcodec_find_decoder_by_name("mpeg2video");

but nothing.  The matter that I don't understand is that in this last case
I should have a valid pointer.  Codec "mpeg2video" is present, so should 
return a valid pointer.  Where is the mistake ?
