Problems installing transcode in Linux.

Ok, I am trying to backup my DVDs within Linux. I found this tutorial:

I have all the tarballs/rpms down'd, and I was trying to install them. All of them installed fine, except the transcode. I've tried installing it from the tarball, I’ve tried installing it from CVS, all to no avail. Every time I get to ./configure for transcode, it rolls through for a while, and then tells me that it can't find ffmpeg/avcodec.h. I've tried installing ffmpeg in every way I can think of, tarball, rpm, cvs, and I still can't get transcode to find it. I've emailed the transcode author, thinking I might have a bad tarball, but I've tried several of them.

Anybody have this problem before? I found one thing by googling it, but it just says, "install from CVS" and then it works. I'm at work now, but I'll post the exact error message when I get home tonight.

I solved it. I changed all my urpmi sources to get rid of the install cds, and added plf as well. This way, I was able to urpmi transcode, and found out it needed like 12 other dependancies besides ffmpeg.
