David,
Regarding this line on the link you sent:
"The FFMPEG multimedia library source code can be obtained either from
the sourceforge
web site <http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/download.php> or by downloading
ffmpeg_source.tar.gz <http://www.vtk.org/files/support/ffmpeg_source.tar.gz>"

I didn't understand that that contained the source as well as instructions
on how to link to it until I downloaded it and found the README. Maybe it
can be changed to something like

"The FFMPEG multimedia library source code can be obtained either from
the sourceforge
web site <http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/download.php> or by downloading
ffmpeg_source.tar.gz <http://www.vtk.org/files/support/ffmpeg_source.tar.gz>.
The tar file also contains instructions on how to link Paraview to the
library."

Just my $.02.

Thanks,

David
