Hi Damien,

I've compiled from SVN and it seems that H.264 is available:

$ ../ekiga/src/ekiga -d 1 --sync
...
        dyna.cxx(98)    H263+   DYNA    Successfully loaded libavcodec.so.1
   h263-1998.cxx(907)   H263+   Codec   Enabled
        dyna.cxx(98)    MPEG4   DYNA    Successfully loaded libavcodec.so.1
       mpeg4.cxx(2028)  MPEG4   Codec   Enabled

   h264-x264.cxx(775)   H264    Codec   Enabled
   h263-1998.cxx(907)   H263+   Codec   Enabled
       mpeg4.cxx(2028)  MPEG4   Codec   Enabled
   h264-x264.cxx(775)   H264    Codec   Enabled

But in the preferences of ekiga I see in the Codecs window that
H.264 is available only for SIP, but not for H.323 calls????
How can I use this with the VSX in this case?
