I orginally installed Zoneminder 1.25.X on Ubuntu 12.04 using there repositories and ran into a roadblock using the Bluecherry BC-08240A - 8 port video, 8 port audio realtime hardware compression card. The card requires the solo6010-dkm driver which uses ('extended' layouts)

I am able to see the video inputs(8,9 respectively) and the capture palette(UYVY [UYUV 4:2:2 Packed, UYVY]) on the card

this being said and finding a solution to my issue:
ZoneMinder - Forums - View topic - Failure to Crop Capabilities
I decided to recompile my version of Zoneminder with the adjustment made in the post above. I made most of the changes and have wrestled around with my compile errors and am stuck here:

I made most of the changes to the depriecated functions to what was replaced and now I get the above error messages in reference to:

What do I need to do to get this to successfully compile? Should I downgrade "FFMPEG" to an older version that used the previous funtions that I had changed? What version of FFMPEG does Zoneminder 1.25.X use?
