downgrade ffmpeg - afair there was even a bug on bugzilla.gentoo.org about it.

remove the -avi flag
downgrade ffmpeg
emerge avifile, trancode, k3b

if you presume that the newer version will be fixed when it goes stable
(this will mask all unstable versions of the package, but when it goes
stable it will become available again);

or

echo '>media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20050226-r5' >>/etc/portage/package.mask

to mask everything above the version you're using, under all circumstances.

HTH,

/etc/portage/package.mask
<==media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20050226-r5

should do the trick, if I remember right. man portage will answer that for 
sure.

It is something that had bitten everybody running a ~x86 system and using 
kd3b/xine or any other ffmepg using application ;)

[gentoo-user] Can't emerge K3B/avifile/transcode -- very inconvenient!

[Dan]

I'm trying to emerge K3B -- I've asked in the IRC channel with no 
response, which usually means I'm doing really stupid.

Anyway, avifile-0.7.43.20050224-r2 won't compile, it complains that some 
members are missing from a struct.  USE="-avi" skips that, then in 
transcode 0.6.14-r2 I am told that in export_ffmpeg.c, struct has no 
members "frame_rate" and "frame_rate_base".

Is it because I'm on ~x86? I've used ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" but it still 
wants the same versions anyway, and has the same error.

I've synced and emerge -u world-ed a few times over the past two weeks 
in hope, but I think I'm really stuck now.

Any advice available?

Wow that was fast!  yes, emerge =media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20050226-r5 
worked well, how do I tell my system not to use the newer broken one?

Re: [gentoo-user] Can't emerge K3B -- SOLVED -- now what?

[Dan]

This is indeed a wonderful list.

"Everything is going extremely well".
    -HAL

K3B is running well, looks good but it has no DVD Video copying option 
that I can find.

On windows I had clone DVD. Source:Dual Layer DVD in one drive, 
Destination: Single Layer blank in burning drive. Press Go, wait 30 
mins, done. Every time.

A driver layer called AnyDVD strips the PUPs and other stuff and 
presents a clean disc to the next layer up.

I don't have these in linux, so there's two questions: First, what 
working GUI can I use which will hande most standard feature films, and 
secondly what does gentoo use for handling access to the movies on the DVD?

I know the answeres lie here and beyond
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/dvd.html

but I am running out of time, I would like something simple running 
soon, I'm happy to mess around with command line transcoding later.

Any more smart ideas?

Yes. k3b is happy to go Tools --> Copy DVD but the heading says "No 
video transcoding!"

Tools --> Encode video wants a project file, and all the options are 
greyed out.  I run fluxbox, not kde so the help doesn't work and there's 
no man pages for k3b.  google gives me lots of source code....

Except of course that I get "no support for DVD reading configured - exit"

I've emerged libdvdread and transcode, forcing the dvd flag on but I 
still get the same result.  mplayer has no trouble playing DVDs.

arrgh!!

I think you need the "dvdread" USE flag set.  I was getting similar error
messages.
