Transcode development is a little slow these days so I suspect it will
be a long time before newer versions of FFmpeg will be catered for. On
my own system I have a local installation of the 0.7.x series of
FFmpeg (which maintains compatibility with FFmpeg 0.6.x) and Transcode
builds happily against this when steered to it with manipulation of
the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable. You can build 0.7.x with the usual
options plus:l

              --disable-ffmpeg \
              --disable-ffplay \
              --disable-ffserver \
              --disable-doc

and then simply install libs and headers locally.
