Bug Description

My Video Clip does not play smooth and shows strange flickering horizontal lines in some areas.

1) The Video plays very choppy but seeks correctly using ffplay and pressing the left and right arrow but the terminal was showing errors as shown below. The Video does not stop for me like it does using the melt command though.

2) The Video plays choppy but better than using ffplay. The Video stops and allows me to hit the h and l key and move it one frame at a time correctly.

3) HERE ARE THE DETAILS FROM THE ffmpeg -i COMMAND

4) HERE IS A LINK TO THE CLIP SINCE IT IS 12.9 MB

We won't be able to fix this in Openshot, as it looks like an ffmpeg problem. You could try a later version of ffmpeg.
