I get the warning: "The currently selected Videocodecs h264 is no longer available, possibly because you changed the transcoder type or the transcoder itself was updated. Please select a new Videocodecs."

I guess it depends on the installed ffmpeg version. I have:

I also get notices on some of the presets provided by Video_Presets 7.x-2.0 (which is the version linked to on the project homepage for ffmpeg users).

The currently selected Video output extension webm is no longer available, possibly because you changed the transcoder type or the transcoder itself was updated. Please select a new Video output extension.
The currently selected Video codec vp8 is no longer available, possibly because you changed the transcoder type or the transcoder itself was updated. Please select a new Video codec.
The currently selected Audio codec aac is no longer available, possibly because you changed the transcoder type or the transcoder itself was updated. Please select a new Audio codec.

Actually, WebM is the only preset I get those errors on.

I get this error as well on the WebM preset. Has anybody found a solution for this yet?
