Hello Mikael, I personally build ffmpeg 10.3 from the sources all the time IMPORTANT: it should be configured with the following options before build --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libxvid --enable-libvorbis --enable-libgsm --enable-libfaac --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree
also please ensure flashsv and flashsv2 decoder/encoder are enable after configure According to your recording problem: I wish I have your machine to fix the recordings :))) It is really hard to fix without being able to reproduce :( I'll try to take a look at this message at the code.
