Description Ken Dreyer 2011-11-20 15:24:23 UTC
Description of problem:
Modern ffmpeg cannot use the libvpx version in RHEL 6.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.9.0-8.el6

Additional info:

The RPM Fusion project has similar goals to EPEL, eg. we do not override upstream packages where possible. There is lots of interest in having an ffmpeg with WebM/VP8 support, but we need a newer libvpx.

For details, please see:

EPEL 5 contains a newer version of libvpx than RHEL 6 does. Please update the libvpx in RHEL 6.

Adjusting flags for 6.3 consideration, since its already too late for 6.2.
