Yeah, there is some problem with the latest version. 
I posted some stuff on the KnoppMyth board... let me
see if I can find it....

http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2    (search for nuv2avi)

well, the knoppmyth forums seem to be down right now. 
Just go over there sometime and search for nuv2avi and
you'll see my stream of emails thread on nuv2avi.  The
problem really was pretty simple to fix though... just
edit the Makefile to include the directory for the
missing library (lame.h?).  Just do a search for
lame.h on your PC and then edit Makefile to add 

-I/lame.h_directory/

and rerun make.  Something like that.  nuv2avi works
great. I wish it were included in MythTV or KnoppMyth
or at least rolled into nuvexport.  The no transcode
"as is" export rocks for MPEG4 exports.

Good luck!

Thanks!
