Details

Transcoding fails with the following error:

[import_ffmpeg.so] No codec found for the FOURCC 'XVID'.
video import module error: OPEN failed
[transcode] critical: failed to open input source

I compiled the same version of Transcode (1.0.2) from source with all other packages installed by Pacman and Transcode works. I did not run ./configure with the same options as the PKGBUILD (although a guess would be that my ./configure options is not the problem).
This task depends upon

What I meant to say is that I don't think my ./configure options "resolved" the problem.

By the way the downlaod url for transcode-1.0.2 seems to be dead.
I found another one:
ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/linux/mirrors/gentoo/distfiles/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz

But one need to add a small patch:
In PKGBUILD:
build(){
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
sed -i 's|v4l2=no AC|v4l2=no; AC|' acinclude.m4 #That's the small patch
patch -Np0 -i ${startdir}/src/transcode-1.0.2-bigdir.patch || return 1

Installed 1.0.2-4 and it runs without complaint.

Looks good to me. Thank you.
