Latest stable ffmpeg 0.7.6 contains a bug which makes tovid fail.
For more details see http://groups.google.com/group/tovid-users/browse_thread/thread/b7b5810dd3f1f9fc?pli=1

Two solve this issue two options are available:
1. patch the current tovid 0.31 version as explained in the link above.
2. upgrade to the latest tovid version (tested and it works).

The upgrade is not straight-forward since the authors upstream have moved away from autoconf tools. Instead they use a python script. 

I have attached a very rough ebuild which is able to install the latest version of tovid 0.34. 
Since I have LIMITED knowledge of ebuilds, a more experience gentoo dveloper can provide a proper ebuild.

Thank you in advance,
Octavian
