dvgrab+jpeg output

[alexjwr]

I can’t seem to get dvgrab to work with jpeg output, I get the following error:
Unknown file format : jpeg

I tried installing libjpeg-turbo and libdv, but no luck. According to the dvgrab man page, jpeg output works “if dvgrab was compiled with libdv and jpeglib.” I notice that no jpeg-related packages are required by dvgrab (though they are in Fedora, for instance, where I’ve gotten dvgrab+jpeg output working). Is this something I can fix on my end (short of just compiling dvgrab from source), or is it a matter of how the dvgrab package is built?

you didn’t say your opensuse version or from what repository did you get dvgrab
according to this

openSUSE Build Service

**BuildRequires: libjpeg-devel **
it seams it was compiled with jpeg support, maybe a bugzilla report?
ps. you should only build packages that are not provided by the repo’s as you’ll miss out on updates and might introduce conflicts.
