> Bug description:
>  I have Ubuntu 11.10 and I installed Openshot through the ppa. I have
>  the latest version, that is, 1.4.1.

>  I'd like to report a couple of bugs that I found, the first of them
>  driving me crazy. I simply couldn't export using codec x264 (I had
>  sound but no video) and I looked at all the possible solutions,
>  updating MLT, checking python libraries, etc. Well, it was all much
>  simpler than that. The file "video.py"
>  (/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/openshot/classes/video.py) has this
>  problem, at least for me, since everytime I tried to render files
>  using libx264, I had the following output:
>
>  [NULL @ 0x22e0900] [Eval @ 0x7fa2259f34c0] Invalid chars '.6' at the end
> of expression '0.6'
>  [NULL @ 0x22e0900] Unable to parse option value "0.6"
>  [libx264 @ 0x22e0900] broken ffmpeg default settings detected
>  [libx264 @ 0x22e0900] use an encoding preset (e.g. -vpre medium)
>  [libx264 @ 0x22e0900] preset usage: -vpre <speed> -vpre <profile>
>  [libx264 @ 0x22e0900] speed presets are listed in x264 --help
>  [libx264 @ 0x22e0900] profile is optional; x264 defaults to high
>
>  All I needed to do was the following:
>
>  if self.render_options["vcodec"] == "libx264":
>                                        self.c.set("minrate", "0")
>                                        self.c.set("b_strategy", "1")
>                                        self.c.set("subcmp", "2")
>                                        self.c.set("cmp", "2")
>                                        self.c.set("coder", "1")
>                                        self.c.set("flags", "+loop")
>                                        self.c.set("flags2", "dct8x8")
>                                        self.c.set("qmax", "51")
>                                        self.c.set("subq", "7")
>                                        self.c.set("qmin", "10")
>                                        self.c.set("qcomp", "0.6") --->
> changed the value for "0,6", using a comma
>                                        self.c.set("qdiff", "4")
>                                        self.c.set("trellis", "1")

>
>  self.valImageLength.set_value(float(self.form.settings.general["imported_image_length"]))
>  ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 7,00

>  I haven't been able to fix it yet except by accessing the "config.xml"

>  I think these issues can be easily fixed, so I hope that our
