Comment 1 for bug 311188

i have just created symlinks to appropriate ffmpeg header files and then compiled from source codes.

/usr/include/ffmpeg$ ls -All
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2009-03-05 15:58 avcodec.h -> ../libavcodec/avcodec.h
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2009-03-05 16:15 avformat.h -> ../libavformat/avformat.h
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2009-03-05 16:15 avio.h -> ../libavformat/avio.h
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2009-03-05 16:15 avutil.h -> ../libavutil/avutil.h
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2009-03-05 15:58 swscale.h -> ../libswscale/swscale.h

P.S. For me it is important feature to have video support in opencv.
