#98 Bug: [LP: #375711] xvidcap audio settings missing in prefer

[Anonymous]

Note: This bug was originally opened in Launchpad and now there is a patch available.

Binary package hint: xvidcap

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04
I had Package xvidcap 1.1.7-0.2ubuntu1 installed from the jaunty/multiverse repository.
In XvidCap Preferences / Multi-frame the Audio Settings block is totally missing. Not displayed at all. The Video settings block is displayed correctly.
I un-installed this version and downloaded version xvidcap_1.1.7intrepid_i386.deb from the XvidCap sourceforge.net site.
When installed this version worked fine - the Audio Settings block is now visible.

I reverted back to 1.1.7-0.2ubuntu1 to double-check and the problem was back again.
Reverted back to 1.1.7intrepid and no problem.

This bug also affects other distributions that use a newer version of ffmpeg, but can be more severe than just the deprecated test, as the ffmpeg functions 'av_fifo_read' and 'av_fifo_write' got replaced by generic equivalents and the 'av_fifo_init' function got renamed.

Using the shipped version of ffmpeg makes only single frame captures as xwd possible.

Probed with ArchLinux.
