Hi. In the last three weeks there have been two ABI changes in x264. Current FFmpeg already requires the latest x264, so I can't update it past 20091019 snapshot without updating x264 as well. I'm going to try and rebuild all packages depending on x264 to see if they still build locally, but I'd like some feedback from the maintainers of: avidemux gstreamer-plugins-ugly libquicktime vlc

FYI current rawhide avidemux doesn't build with the new x264. It needs at least the attached patch. Regards, R.
