This thread aims to give support for the following wiki page:

Feel free to alter this wiki page and discuss the changes here...

In a similar fashion to my MPlayer guide I have synced the wiki guide to the website guide I also run. Seems like a good plan, I get feedback from both website and wiki guide and the build instructions will improve for both . My website has high profile in general with google so look forward to the guide +wiki becoming more well known.

Latest changes simply adding --disable-cli to x264 removes a loose executable that has no purpose, and a small change to the vlc compiler flags removing 2 unused variables.
