BD doesn't work with latest FFMPEG version; older version OK

I was unable to encode using the latest version of FFMPEG - my hosting company figured out it was an incompatibility with a more recent version of FFMPEG - SVN-r19344.

Installing version SVN-r16196 instead did the trick, so I'm OK now.

Below is the FFMPEG output with errors - I thought this could be helpful. BD video rocks!
