[MEncoder-users] Convert WMV to FLV with 64 bit Linux?

[Jon Drukman]

My ultimate goal is to convert WMV to FLV on Linux (RHEL4, AMD64).  I've 
tried straight up ffmpeg, but it doesn't work unless you can compile the 
VC1 reference encoder in.  I can't get the reference implementation to 
compile at all, the instructions here 
http://multimedia.cx/eggs/hooking-up-the-smpte-vc-1-decoder-in-ffmpeg/ 
don't work.  The make command fails.

I then read about using mencoder with the Windows binary DLLs.  I got 
mplayer to find the win32 .dll's but as I'm on a 64 bit OS, those DLL's 
don't work.  Argh.

Is there an easy workaround for either of these problems?  Another 
option I've overlooked?

Thanks
