 WengoPhone for Debian
----------------------
+=====================
+
+Core dumps
+----------
 
 If WengoPhone crashes a core dump is created. Differently from upstream version,
 the position where the core dump is created can be controlled with the
 WENGOPHONE_COREDUMP_DIR environment variable. If such variable is not set, the
 dump is created in /tmp.

+Video support
+-------------
+
+According to ffmpeg-free changelog [1], MPEG-based video encoders have been
+removed since version 0.cvs20070307-6, because of patent problems:
+>   * Rename the source package. We are (again) no longer shipping the
+>     'real' upstream source of ffmpeg.
+>   * Add debian/strip.sh to strip ffmpeg upstream source disabling mpeg
+>     based encoders as discussed with ftp-master at debconf7
+
+Wengophone video support depends on those codecs, therefore it is no longer
+working with this new ffmpeg package.
+
+Video support can be enabled without recompiling wengophone, by just installing a
+non-stripped version of ffmpeg.
+
+Waiting for proper documentation from ffmpeg maintaners [2], here is a quick
+howto in order to self-recompile ffmpeg enabling MPEG-based encoders.
+
+WARNING: Those encoders are covered by patents which are actively enforced in
+some countries. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
+
+1. Create the orig tarball:
+	$ svn export --ignore-externals -r {20070307} svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg-0.svn20070307
+	$ svn export --ignore-externals -r {20070307} svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk/libswscale ffmpeg-0.svn20070307/libswscale
+	$ tar cvzf ffmpeg_0.svn20070307.orig.tar.gz ffmpeg-0.svn20070307
+
+2. Apply the debian patch [3], in order to add the debian
+   control files:
+	$ wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/ffmpeg-free/ffmpeg-free_0.cvs20070307-6.diff.gz
+	$ cd ffmpeg-0.svn20070307
+	$ zcat ../ffmpeg-free_0.cvs20070307-6.diff.gz | patch -p1
+
+3. Replace "ffmpeg-free" with "ffmpeg" in debian/control an debian/changelog
+   files (the right way would be adding a new custom changelog entry in the
+   change):
+	$ sed -i -e "s/ffmpeg-free/ffmpeg/g" debian/control debian/changelog
+
+4. Build it:
+	$ chmod +x debian/rules
+	$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
+
+5. Install the packages:
+	$ cd ..
+	$ sudo dpkg -i lib*d_0.cvs20070307-*.deb	# Just runtime libs
+   or
+	$ sudo dpkg -i lib_0.cvs20070307-*.deb		# everything
