Doug,

Something wrong with this avconv version ...
Did you use Bombono DVD successfully earlier? I have no time to maintain it for awhile. :(

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

It does test out working with libav9. I was going thru apps rebuilt in 14.10 for libav11 to see if they work as I don't believe they are actually tested except for FTBFS
