Comment 14 for bug 481500

i have no idea what it means when it says "no frame" but what i do know is that "no frame" is not causing the export to fail.

here is some more info about these videos: directly from the camera, the kodak zi8, it is a file in .MOV container, and the video codec is x264, and the audio codec is aac. i can even use ffmpeg to change the container to .mp4 and set the video and audio codecs to "copy" and it works fine.

i do use the advanced export features. in fact what works for me just fine is choosing Youtube-HD, switch to the advanced tab and change the video bitrate to 5MB/s and change the audio codec to libmp3lame and bitrate to 256. here is yet another video i successfully exported from openshot in this way: http://youtube.com/watch?v=frIemBdpU9k

i don't have any other video files to test this with, but if you could tell me where to get one online i'll gladly try. also, i don't know what cli commands you want me to try, but i will gladly try them if you tell me.

the main thing i don't understand is why i can "convert" the videos from my device to x264/libfaac with ffmpeg at the cli, but openshot won't do it. is it possible that openshot or mlt are calling the wrong command or operator or something for libfaac? openshot/mlt can't possibly be trying to use ffmpeg for libfaac if ffmpeg itself can do it just fine.
