Perhaps you need to compile your own version of ffmpeg; amv support
could be a compile-time option that wasn't enabled when they compiled it
for Fedora?
I don't have the time to figure out how to do this. Been over a year
and an OS upgrade since the last time I had to do a build... Off to IEEE
802 meeting right now and that will take up the week. And no Win system
is coming with me and I tried all the included software and the installs
were not working simply with Wine. I have to read up how to do a Win
app install in Wine...
