Hi,
I've recently upgraded ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10, and I had to uninstall pd-extended and reinstalled the new package for 10.04.
After that, pix_film crashes when I try to open many video files that I used to be able to open without issues.
It crashes with a few MOV files encoded with mjpeg but doesn't crash with some other AVI files also encoded with mjpeg (don't know if it was the exact same codec or not) (all these are files it used to be able open), and so far it crash with ANY new file that I have tried to encode with ffmpeg, with avidemux, both mov and avi and with several different codecs. I can't find any format I can generate with ffmpeg or avidemux that pix_film will open without crashing.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? I'm desperate, as this breaks almost all the patches I was working on and I can't seem to find even a workaround, such as recoding all videos to a format that would work.
Just hoping someone has had a similar issue and figured out what got broken when upgrading to 10.10...
This is Pd Extended 0.42.5 which has Gem 0.92.3, as it ships in the Package for Ubuntu 10.10 downloaded from puredata.info.
Needless to say I can open these files in just any other software other than Pd.
Thanks in advance m.
