Let me know what info you need or what i should try.

Your version of ffmpeg is too new. Current MakeMKV requires ffmpeg v3.x. ffmpeg 4 can be made to work with the attached patch. But I can't guarantee that there are not other less obvious incompatibilities. I've not done much testing.

yeah I made those changes to get it to compile but still get these

/usr/bin/makemkvcon: /lib64/libavutil.so.55: version `LIBAVUTIL_55' not found (required by /lib/libmakemkv.so.1)
/usr/bin/makemkvcon: /lib64/libavcodec.so.57: version `LIBAVCODEC_57' not found (required by /lib/libmakemkv.so.1)

I tried linking to new versions but no go.

I guess Ill just wait till everyone catches up.

I cannot compile, too. I am using Siduction - which is "bleeding edge" based on Debian experimental (!!) Too old?? I think if you want to have success with MakeMKV running on Linux there are three ways
1) reduce your dependencies to the level where most distris can follow
2) publish binaries where all dependencies / libs are included
3) Support more informations in case of a compile error pops up - you are sitting at the development machines and can fastly take a look what is missing

Do you have more informations which lib is "outdated"?

Additional try successfl. I have run configure amd make on an older machine (which has ffmpeg 3.x - Debian9). Both finished successfully. Then I copied the folder tio the machine with ffmpeg4 and tried "sudo make install" - of course successful, too becausethere are only copy processes. Interesting: makemky is running on this machine flawlessly as I could test in a few minutes - in spite of there is ffmpeg4...

Best regards
