Open avi file with OpenCV : ffmpeg?

This question is related to a previous question I asked here.

I read on the Willow Garage website dedicated to OpenCV that we do not have to take care of ffmpeg while installing OpenCV since version 1.2.x. Here it is.

However, some questions asked here on Stackoverflow suggest the contrary.

So, what should I do ? Do I have to recompile OpenCV and do some special operation related to ffmpeg to get it to, finally, open avi file on my Linux system ?

Problem solved. FFMPEG is indeed ON by default, since OpenCV 1.2.x according to Willow Garage. Which means that you do not have to take care of it. Then, what I tried to explain to Astor, and then confirmed without a doubt by recompiling OpenCV with WITH_QT=ON, is that Qt had nothing to do with this issue. The video "just" had to be encoded in a particular format, which is MPEG-4 XVID. I used mencoder to convert my file.
