Wait, what?? Okay, I did not know that the packaged version was that recent, _and_ it supports h264?? I've been tearing my damn hair out for 3 days for _nothing_? In my defense, in the past I've never seen a packaged ffmpeg that was less than six months out of date, usually more like a year or more. If this works (testing now), I'll be in Debian Heaven. Sweet.
