Thanks for the suggestion, Ryan. By doing so I discovered that the error
was caused by ffmpeg not finding the libx264 library; the error was not at
all connected with matplotlib.

As it turns out, I neglected to use the *--enable-libx264 --enable-gpl
--enable-nonfree* flags when running the configuration script for ffmpeg
just before compiling. I recompiled ffmpeg and now everything is working
properly.

Thanks again,
Kyle
