MGA8-64 MATE on Acer Aspire 5253 No installation issues. I don't know what to think of this: playing an mp4 file (recording I made from webcam) plays OK with other players (parole, vlc, Video frim MATE), but with mplayer the image lags a lot behind the sound, in the end about 4seconds on a 17 seconds clip.

mga8, x64 Installed tainted packages and ran a few tests, like conversion from avi to mp4 and adding a subtitle track to a video. Updated the packages using qarepo with tainted set. Ran similar tests. $ ffmpeg -i Jane_live_cartoon.avi -an -scodec copy Jane.mp4 $ ll Jane* -rw-r--r-- 1 lcl lcl 1101895588 Dec 23 2021 Jane_live_cartoon.avi -rw-r--r-- 1 lcl lcl 213237930 Nov 4 17:21 Jane.mp4 No sound with vlc or mplayer for Jane.mp4 - may be a regression but more likely lack of parameters or error in the parameters given. $ ffmpeg -n -i Winterwatch.mp4 -f srt -i Winterwatch.srt -c:s mov_text -metadata:s:s:0 language=eng -c:v copy -c:a copy sameagain.mp4 sameagain.mp4 played fine with vlc and subtitles were available. In mplayer the subtitles come up automatically. $ ffmpeg -i 'Long as I Can See the Light.wav' creedence.mp3 The mp3 file plays OK in mplayer. No trouble converting an AVI file to MP3 format and playing it with mplayer. Leaving this open for a while for others to test.

Using "urpmq --whatrequires ffmpeg" came up with something called "ffmulticonverter," a gui front end for ffmpeg. It's supposed to be able to convert between any file format that ffmpeg uses. Intrigued, I decided to use it for my test. I used qarepo to first get and test the core versions of these updates, then the tainted versions. Using ffmulticonverter, I was able to convert between mp4, avi, webm, and mkv formats. Most files worked as expected, but there were some conversions that were unexpected, involving one mkv source video. Converting it to mp4 with the default settings was successful, with good video, but there was no audio. Converting to avi was also successful, with good audio, but the video quality was terrible. Other conversions using the same formats were fine, so I believe the issues were due to something unique to that video, or were caused by my using the default settings. Giving this an OK, and validating. Advisory in Comment 0.
