Event Timeline

I confirm that bug (Ubuntu 9.10, 64-bit). I've also tried to compile Blender with FFMPEG libraries provided by Ubuntu, as well as those provided with Blender (as suggested here: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Linux/FFMPEG.

Both ways does not work, Blender compiles but it does not render video file.

Ok, I got this one.
Related to default ffmpeg param being wrong and libx264 aborting when detecting it.
I already have a fonctional patch, but will continue to check which parameters is best to change. (I augmented qmin and qmax to get it work).
