fftheora codec broken

[Marty Vona]

fftheora decoder seems broken in libavcodec-extra-53.

Attached is a theora video which shows the issue. It plays, but has severe blocky distortion with either

ffplay tpf-1-dbg-3.ogv

or

mplayer tpf-1-dbg-3.ogv

However this works fine:

mplayer -vc theora tpf-1-dbg-3.ogv

i.e. using libtheora instead of ffmpeg. As a partial workaround, mplayer can be forced to always prefer theora instead of fftheora by putting this in ~/.mplayer/config

vc=theora,

(the trailing comma enables searching for other codecs for non-theora files). However I'm not sure how to do similar for ffmpeg.

This thread may be related, and suggests that the problem may not manifest with the non-medibuntu libavcodec packges:

The video plays fine with mplayer in raring. Please reopen if the bug still happens for you.
