When working with software straight out of Git, sometimes the latest HEAD version is a bit unstable. This shows how to get back to a release version using Git.

 '''Note:''' If you do not require certain encoders you may skip the relevant section and then remove the appropriate `./configure` option in FFmpeg. For example, if libvorbis is not needed, then skip that section and then remove `--enable-libvorbis` from the [#FFmpeg Install FFmpeg] section.

+If a particular library doesn't compile, this may be due to a new bug recently introduced. You can either skip that library or try compiling an older version. This is especially true for libraries obtained via Git. A simple way to look for the last good "release" is the following:
+
+{{{
+$ git clone <URL>
+(note that the "--depth 1" option is absent)
+$ git tag -l
+(look for the most recent release tag.)
+$ git checkout tags/<tag name>
+}}}
+
+Then continue the process as normal.
