This is the start of the error messages:

[ 19%] Building CXX object modules/highgui/CMakeFiles/opencv_highgui.dir/src/cap_ffmpeg.cpp.o

In file included from home/opencv-2.4.5/modules/highgui/src/cap_ffmpeg_impl.hpp:60:0, from home/opencv-2.4.5/modules/highgui/src/cap_ffmpeg.cpp:45: home/Desktop/opencv-2.4.5/modules/highgui/src/ffmpeg_codecs.hpp:104:7: error: ‘CODEC_ID_H264’ was not declared in this scope

There are then about 100+ very similar lines saying that codecs were not declared in this scope. What's going on? I even installed all of the codec libraries recommended by the installation guide here: http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/doc/tutorials/introduction/linux_install/linux_install.html

Any ideas?

I had similar errors reported and the cause was a conflict with the avconv (libav) package previously installed using apt-get. Once I removed the libav package I was able to succesfully build and install opencv. I used version 2.4.9

Simply said, when using openCV you should just build openCV yourself which will just select the correct libav package on your system. Then it should just work.
