	Hello.  This is my first posting to the list.  If I need to

with an application called pyTivo which calls it with the following syntax:

/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i <filename> -vcodec mpeg2video -b 16384k -maxrate 30000k
-bufsize 4096k -ab 448k -ar 44100 -acodec ac3 -copyts -f vob -

	ffmpeg responds with:

Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from '<filename>':
  Duration: 00:13:12.4, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 927 kb/s
    Stream #0.0(eng): Video: h264, yuv420p, 480x320 [PAR 0:1 DAR 0:1], 29.97
tb(r)
    Stream #0.1(eng): Audio: mpeg4aac, 44100 Hz, stereo
Unknown encoder 'mpeg2video'

	How should I go about repairing this situation?

	On a related note, I want to create MP4 / h.264 videos using ffmpeg,
but the coders do not seem to be installed.  I tried getting the source code
and compiling it, but I could not get a fully successful compile.  I finally
got ffmpeg, libx264, and libfaac to build, but for some reason the libx264
didn't like my version of yasm, and I had to disable asm compilation. I was
then able to compile, and the resultant binary would run, but when I tried
to use the libx264 codec, I got a segmentation fault.

	The pertinent info:
