Can not find information if ffmpeg_wrapper has any version requirements as far as ffmpeg versions go? For example I am running ffmpeg-0.7.1 right now, and I am not sure should I upgrade to 0.7.11 - latest version for 0.7, or I going beyond to 0.8 or 0.9 version of ffmpeg?

Thanks

Ffmpeg wrapper should support most versions- older versions have different commands for codecs and formats which the module accounts for- newer versions of ffmpeg should be fine

Ffmpeg wrapper can't read/parse information from my ffmpeg:

i guess that the get_version() can not recognize my ffmpeg from Git...
