FWIW, blender is available as a precompiled tarball on their web site.
Installation is as simple as untaring it to /opt (or your home directory
even) and adding it to the path. The linux 32 and 64 bit versions on
their website both have ffmpeg built in.
I'm looking at blender again and it appears
that the reason it won't
load a movie for me is because the Fedora 10 version was compiled
without ffmpeg support.
WTF?
Certain libraries trigger license or patent issues in some countries,
and so Fedora won't package them. As a result, they must compile
Blender without a critical feature.
