[gentoo-amd64] slightly OT -- ffmpeg codecs

[Mark Haney]

I've got a bunch of video MP4 files (vacation footage from my sister) 
and want to convert them to DVD format for regular DVD viewing.  The 
problem is, I must be missing a USE flag for ffmpeg to make it work.

When I try:

ffmpeg -i movie.mp4 movie.avi

I get this as output:

> Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'movie.mp4':
>   Duration: 00:48:11.4, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 372 kb/s
>   Stream #0.0(und): Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 320x176, 25.00 fps(r)
>   Stream #0.1(und): Audio: mp4a / 0x6134706D, 44100 Hz, stereo

> Unsupported codec (id=86018) for input stream #0.1

I thought at first it was the video codec causing the problem, but it's 
not, it's the audio.  I rather thought the 'mp4' use flag would have 
covered video and audio, but it's not (at least with ffmpeg).

Any ideas?
