RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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:

http://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-developers/2011-November/010802.html

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

Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
