Hi,
so I took a look at the things you wrote.
It seems to me that there is no libav(format) for f17.

At the beginnning I had only the ffmpeg-compat package installed then I installed ffmpeg, but no libav*.
Then I added a repository(rpm-sheres) to install libav because the standard one dosn't have libav.
After installing this libav package I only got libavutil, libavahi-common and libavahi-client, so still no libavformat

Searching for this issue I found this:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/libavformat-so-334437/

So can it be, that libavformat isn'T included because of legal issues? And isn't it possible to use the features of standard ffmpeg?
I don't know that much about all these linux packages, but isn't ffmpeg something different then libav?
