javacv could not open codec

Hi Samuel,

java.lang.Exception: could not open codec

com.googlecode.javacv.FFmpegFrameRecorder.start(FFmpegFrameRecorder.java:

Looking at FFmpegFrameRecorder, it looks like this exception is
different than not being able to find the encoder. Looking into
avcodec.java, it looks like several .h files are required to be in the
windowsIncludepath. I copied the .0.7.11 tar ball source code to my c:
\MinGW\local\include\ and renamed ffmpeg-0.7.11 to simply ffmpeg.

Is this correct, or am I missing something? Does it need to be in the
path as well? I'm still getting the exception.

Thanks in advance!
