transcode looks for old version of mjpegtools

I'm running transcode to convert an avi to an mpg for burning to vcd, using the following command:

transcode -i myfile.avi --export_prof vcd -o myfile.mpg

It fails because it tries to find libmjpegutils-1.7.so.0, which does not exist on my system. The installed version of mjpegtools is 1.8, so I do have libmjpegutils-1.8.so.0. However, transcode insists on the 1.7 lib.

I've worked around it by creating libmjpegutils-1.7.so.0 as a symlink to libmjpegutils-1.8.so.0.0.0, but I'm not sure if/where i should report this. The system it's running on is completely up to date.

Any thoughts anyone?

Re: transcode looks for old version of mjpegtools

Try recompiling transcode (change source url: http://mirror.kraymer.de/transcode-1.0.1.tar.gz). The libmjpegutils-1.7.so.0 warning will still be there it'll work (no more "critical: plug-in initialization failed" error).  According to ldd, transcode doesn't link to libmjpegutils :? Maybe a problem with transcode itself. Anyway, submit a bug report (to http://bugs.archlinux.org/).
