Hi,

I have the same issue. It looks like vlc doesn't accept --with-ffmpeg-tree
option any more. If I look at ../configure --help there is no
--with-ffmpeg-tree
option. So when I try to configure latest git on Ubuntu 8.04, configuration
always uses ffmpeg installed on a system and not from specified location.
