Blender source code that contains experimental, non-complete YUV4MPEG support, written by Stephan Henningsen (stephan@asklandd.dk). He writes:

The archive extracts to a directory named blender-svn. I've always kept this in /opt, that is /opt/blender-svn. I don't know if that's important to the build; I don't know if I changed anything in the build system at some point. But now you know how to play it safe =)

I've written a small note for myself in blender-svn/BlenderHacking-HOWTO. It describes how to build, which files and part of files that are important. Also, I believe you should be able to run "svn stat" to see what files I've actually modified since I checked out the official sources, as blender-svn is an entire svn checkout.

The build system is not traditional Make, but some python stuff I think. But I got along fine by simply building and occasionally cleaning. I tried messing with some environment variables to disable and enable the piped YUV4MPEG stuff, but I think I ended up by always including it, and leaving it up to the big boys how to include my chances in the official tree =)

Also, Blender has all the sources for its dependencies self-contained in the archive. I remember this was a bit frustrating, since the mjpeg library was pretty old, and the tutorial I found somewhere was based a newer version. I consulted the guys on #blender-dev (I think) on IRC, and they seemed open-minded about upgrading it. Dunno if it's necessary.

Oh, and there's this, dunno if it'll be of any help: http://www.blender.org/development/coding-guides/

Let me know if you need anything =)
