compiling 0.7.2 becuase im getting fed up trying to get my dbox streaming to work, n everyone tells me this version is most compatible...

i have compiled and installed ffmpeg with

./configure --enable-libogg --enable-theora --enable-xvid --enable-vorbis --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --enable-gpl --enable-mp3lame --enable-a52 --enable-faac --enable-pp

then 0.7.2 with

./configure --enable-dvdread --enable-theora --enable-alsa --with-dvdcss=/usr/local --with-dvdread=/usr/local --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac --with-mad=/usr/local

...

Your ffmpeg-version is either too old or too new.
You should probably use the ffmpeg-version we provided with this release of VLC. You can still find it here: http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/video ... 2/contrib/

yes that was the issue...
the ffmpeg was too up to date...

i used the one you suggested and ll is well...
