Bug Description

When importing an Ogg Theora file produced by the Instabul or gtk-recordmydesktop screen capture tools, the Openshot preview is corrupt (see attached screen shot).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Import an Ogg Theora file produced by either screen capture tool.
2. Drag it to the timeline.
3. Play the preview.

I'm not saying it only or always happens with Ogg Theora files produced by these tools but I've only tried it with files from these tools and all the files I've produced with them end up corrupted.

The files work fine in Totem and Pitivi.

I'm running OpenShot 1.1.3, from the PPA, in Ubuntu Lucid.

Uploading video created with gtk-recordMyDesktop in YouTube produce the same artifacts of OpenShot. File not fully compatible?

Recoding my video with ffmpeg2theora got a lot of "no frame available". Same result of OpenShot or YouTube rendering.

I have the same problem. @cenwen, If it's due to Theora, why does the same video work in PiTiVi but not OpenShot?

The last version of recordMyDestop produces a wrong file, and of course this Gui in GTK and QT. I have not the link, same if i have put it in a similar thread here but i know that i have found the information on Webup8. And i remember me that was the version in Lucid (under if they have find a fix like for MLT).
