Build failure with ffmpeg on Ubuntu 14.04

[HenkPoley]

Just come kind of error message in ./configure that this a too old version or something, would be fine by me.

Opaque Debian/Ubuntu releases, from version.h:

• libavcodec = 54.35.0, most recent upstream would be 56.60.100
• libavformat = 54.20.4, upstream: 56.40.101
• libavutil = 52.3.0, upstream: 54.32.100

FFMPEG's own PPA (ppa:mc3man/trusty-media) does not appear to include the header (*-dev) packages.

This is because 14.04 uses libav instead of "real" ffmpeg, which doesn't appear to have some of the functions I use. Since libav seems to be on its way out (Debian and Ubuntu are now switching back to ffmpeg), I have to say I'm not that interested in supporting it.

[HenkPoley]

That is good enough for me at the moment.

Just posted this, so you know what happens. Might be have been a different problem with an easy fix.
