media-video/transcode-0.6.6 requires media-libs/divx4linux-20020418. It will not run with the current divx4linux, which is 20030428. The API in libencore has changed significantly between those two releases. The current ebuild file (transcode-0.6.6.ebuild) has no dependency at all on divx4linux. When I run dvd::rip and specify divx4 or divx5 as target video codec, I get these messages. [export_divx4.so] WARNING: Unrecognized API version ID (20021024) returned by Di vX encore library: Making a guess that it's a 5.x-style interface (please report this message and your DivX library version to the transcode developers) [export_divx4.so] DivX 5.x libraries detected. (encoder.c) video export module error: init failed critical error: failed to init encoder - exit Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge media-video/dvdrip 2. Run dvdrip. Rip a DVD. Set target video codec to divx5 (or divx4). 3. Press the Transcode button. It fails immediately.

(See the code for yourself in export/export_divx[45].c. It's definitely using the old API.) So the ebuild files for 0.6.7 through 0.6.10 are broken too -- they should depend on 20020418, not 20030428. I am currently working on a patch to make divx4linux use SLOTs, since that seems to be the right approach. (Well, it would be even better to add code upstream to make transcode understand the new version.) Can someone tell me how to submit this patch if/when it's finished? Or tell me why SLOTs aren't the answer? Thanks.
From the transcode changelog: maybe that was a cause of this confusion. --- transcode-0.6.7 Thu May 29 18:50:46 CEST 2003 2003-05-29 Tilmann Bitterberg <transcode at tibit.org> * export/export_divx5.c import/import_divx.c: Experimental support for decoding and encoding divx5.0.5. I used divx4linux-20030428 for development and testing.
transcode-0.6.11 works
