[Bf-committers] Problem with mp4 file in sequencer

[Ejner Fergo]

Hi Dalai,

First of all I'm sorry for my lack of action, and only now replying.

I updated my system ffmpeg from git some time ago (I guess it's the
0.8.5 version) and Blender can now read the mp4 file(s) correctly.

With the 2.60 release (Linux 64bit downloaded from blender.org) the
problem is still there though. So the official Blender build is using
ffmpeg < 0.8.5 I guess? Should I still report this to the link you
posted, or will 2.61 use the most recent ffmpeg release?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Ejner
