I can reproduce the problem with ffmpeg 0.5, which is in both karmic and lucid.
I've just tried it with ffmpeg 0.6, which can be found in maverick, and the problem is gone. On this basis, I'm closing this bug. In case you can identify which particular change in ffmpeg has fixed this issue, please nominate that revision for backporting by emailing me. ** Changed in: ffmpeg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: ffmpeg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- ffmpeg hangs while transcoding https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/601879 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
