Bug Description

Binary package hint: ffmpeg

For iPod Video owners trying to make h264 videos (= mp4 container + aac + h264), ffmpeg would be the tool of choice, as it has reliable support for the mp4 container, and the ability to specify aac and h264.

The DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=risky variable influences the build by enabling various patent-restricted codecs. It's currently missing x264 (--enable-x264, weak_build_dep += libx264-dev). Having this one-line shortcut to turning all the restricted formats would be great.

John, i'm using this option, and i'm getting error while running 'debuild' for the second time.

See:

QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt pop -a -R || test $? = 2
Patch 031_x264_link_against_pic.diff does not remove cleanly (refresh it or enforce with -f)
make: ** [clean] Erro 1
debuild: fatal error at line 1228:
fakeroot debian/rules clean failed

If i run 'debuild -nc', it runs with success. Or when i run 'debuild' for the first time, everything runs normal.
