(Artful) bombono-dvd crashes when adding videos or loading a project

[Red]

Hi,

Ever since I upgraded one of my computers to Artful, I am unable to use bombono-dvd. After attempting to add video files to the project (or loading a pre-existing bombono-dvd project), it crashes with "segmentation fault", sometimes (but not always) having messages referring to "estimate_timings_from_pts" and/or "bad_dst_image_pointers"

This crash occurs when attempting to add video files of any format to the project, including the "DVD-compliant" format. The same crash happens when loading a pre-existing Bombono DVD project.

Searching this issue finds a small number of Arch users making similar complaints. An example crash message from this page:

Segmentation fault

The Arch user claims he has no problems on 32-bit distributions. I am running Xubuntu Artful 64-bit, and so cannot test it unless I set up a VirtualBox, I can do it if needed. And again it has worked properly on this machine until the Artful upgrade, and continues to work properly on a Xenial LTS machine I have.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
