ffmpeg question

[Fahrvergnuugen]

I downloaded ffmpegX but its just a front end for ffmpeg, right? In other words, you need to have ffmepg installed in order to use it?

teh reason i ask is because this is the first thing that it spits out when i hit the encode button:
sh: /usr/bin/mpeg2enc: No such file or directory


It will continue past that, but it eventually fails to create the movie.

I downloaded the source for ffmpeg and tried to compile it, but I'm getting an error in ppc/mpegvideo_altivec.c:

ppc/mpegvideo_altivec.c:457: parse error before `signed'
ppc/mpegvideo_altivec.c:459: `lastNonZeroChar' undeclared (first use in this function)
ppc/mpegvideo_altivec.c:100: warning: `lastNonZero' might be used uninitialized in this function
make[1]: *** [ppc/mpegvideo_altivec.o] Error 1
make: *** [lib] Error 2

I don't know C well enough to figure it out. I don't see anything out of the ordinary on line 457...the syntax looks perfect and there are no weird characters in the whitespace. Can someone help?
