It failed on the second pass.  I've since figured out how to rpmbuild 
-ba and then install the resulting packages. And after much stumbling 
around in the dark I ended up installing, removing, upgrading and 
downgrading quite a few packages via smart to satisfy a build 
dependency (and conflicts with libavcodec, libavutil & libavformat) 
for ffmpeg-0.4.9-1.r5779.src.rpm.  However I'm now exporting my 2nd 
file without an issue, so I must have got something right.

There must have been a straight forward way to get to where my 
machine is now, but I'll be damned if I could figure it out at the 
time.  It appears to be working (and quite a bit faster I might add 
33fps -> 47fps+) so I'm going to try and not touch anything.  8)

Thanks again for the pointers.
