1. the mencoder solution does indeed work. I guess the solution I would like for this bug report is to have mencoder as a 'suggested' or 'recommended' package. I have no idea how package maintainers go about deciding which packages are suggested or recommended, so I will leave it up to the package maintainer.
2. I am not in a position to compile and test the latest version of ffmpeg, and they do not want bug reports on old versions, so unfortunately I cannot submit a bug report to ffmpeg. 3. perhaps I will send Kino my ffmpeg equivalent of the mencoder script that does the conversion. The mencoder solution works, but I was hoping to keep at least one of the numerous audio-video conversion suites off my PC. Other applications manage to play the Canon AVI files (totem-xine, totem-gstreamer, mplayer). Of the application I have tried, I have found that only ffmpeg fails. It seems to me that the problem is with ffmpeg, not Canon. I have not verified what the AVI standard says, but I assume that ffmpeg is getting something wrong, and everyone else is more-or- less correct. Thanks for the comments. -- Kino does not import AVI file from Canon cameras properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207941 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
