Hello,

hope you can help me. I want to encode a video, which I have exported
from Keynote (a program for presentation like MS Power Point) using
ffmpeg2theora for html5 web delivery.

The result only plays very buggy - frames are dropped, the video hangs
and vlc can not output the correct length of the ogv video.

Here is the source and the result for download, if you want to reproduce it:

the source, which plays smooth:

my result:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1477005/test_vid01.ogv

I am using:
ffmpeg2theora 0.27 - Xiph.Org libtheora 1.1 20090822 (Thusnelda)

Here is the output of ffmpeg2theora:

$ ffmpeg2theora /Users/michi/Desktop/test_vid01.mp4

Perhaps you have an ideam what's going on here..

Thanks in advance, Michael.
