Hi there, i installed ffmpeg from deb-multimedia.org but it has a different --prefix (/usr) from the one to make with tutorial. and with this prefix when i compile kerberosio opencv cannot find ffmpeg. how to point opencv to this ffmpeg instalation? I have tested, that if i install ffmpeg with prefix /usr/local opencv can find it, but with /usr prefix cannot.

@muten84 can you help?

A simple workaround might be to add a link in /usr/local (sudo ln -s /usr/ffmpeg /usr/local/ffmpeg)?
