Hi Janny,<br><br>I think that you are navigating uncharted territory. We intended the ffmpeg library to be used on Linux and Mac platforms and for windows users to use the native AVI writing library. I do not know of anyone else who has tried to get the library to compile and link to VTK on windows. Also we have not tested VTK against a more recent version of ffmpeg. I would guess that the ffmpeg library has changed significantly since we first started using it, which is why cmake can not find what it needs in the up to date version that you have.
<br><br>sorry,<br>Dave DeMarle<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/25/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Janny Dong</b> <<a href="mailto:janny.dong@gmail.com">janny.dong@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
