[Paraview-developers] [EXTERNAL] Which version of ffmpeg should I build ParaView 3.14 with?

[Scott, W Alan]

Joe,
I find ffmpeg to consistently be a pain.  So, you are not alone having issues.

For me, I am currently using 0.6.1, with the following:
./configure --disable-static --disable-network --disable-zlib --disable-ffserver --disable-ffplay --disable-decoders --enable-shared --enable-swscale --prefix=/...../installDir.
make
make install

Alan

Hi,

I failed building ParaView 3.14 with ffmpeg on Mac. The error messages are

/Users/phsiao/dev/src/ParaView-3.14.0/VTK/IO/vtkFFMPEGWriter.cxx:117:

...

ffmpeg was downloaded from the most recent git repository. By googling, people said the API has been changed a bit since ffmpeg 0.8.6. So I am wondering which version should I use?

Thanks,
Joe
