I searched the forums and the bug list, so I'm pretty sure no one else is seeing this problem. I have installed the following version of libdv: * media-libs/libdv Latest version available: 0.102 Latest version installed: 0.102 Size of downloaded files: 465 kB Homepage: http://libdv.sourceforge.net/ Description: Software codec for dv-format video (camcorders etc). License: GPL-2 The transcode ebuild has the following check: dv? ( >=media-libs/libdv-0.99 ) One would think that would see my version of libdv and build in support, right? But it doesn't. To fix this, I can interrupt the build process right after .configure begins in the transcode source directory and force a "--enable-libdv" option into configure. Then a make;make install will build a transcode executable that will actually encode DV AVI files. Otherwise transcode does nothing for when given a DV AVI file and will report "encoded 0 frames."
please provide the output of emerge info, and attach the config.log. thanks in advance
Created attachment 59455 [details] emerge -p --info transcode Here is the emerge --info output
according to your emerge info output you havnt set the dv useflag, if you set it configure will be called with --enable-dv automagically. if you've done this on the command line, provide the config.log

I added 'dv' to my USE flags and that did it! Thanks. I guess this one can be closed - pilot error!
there you go, USE="dv" emerge transcode , you havnt specified it. therefor, configure was called with --disable-libdv .
