+* Qt, version 4
+* ffmpeg (optional, for video encoding and decoding)
 * libao (optional, for sound output)
 * libmad and liba52 for MP2 and AC3 decoding, respectively.
 
-On a Debian system, the following packages should do the job: 
-libqt3-mt-dev qt3-dev-tools scons libao-dev libmad0-dev liba52-0.7.4-dev
