[theora] ffmpeg2theora bug: generation of a video from a series of images

[Michael Opdenacker]

Hi J.,

We are using ffmpeg2theora to produce an introduction video from a
series of images:

ffmpeg2theora-0.26.linux32.bin images/img-%03d.png -o intro.ogv

The video that we get is huge and horrible, with lots of blinking colors:

Here's what we had in the past:
http://free-electrons.com/issues/ffmpeg2theora-mar5-2010/intro-correct.ogv

This issue was introduced in ffmpeg2theora-0.25, and a work-around is to
revert to ffmpeg2theora-0.24
(http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/ffmpeg2theora-0.24.linux32.bin.bz2). I
also checked that this problem still happens with the latest snapshot
release.

All you need to reproduce this bug is in
http://free-electrons.com/issues/ffmpeg2theora-mar5-2010/

Even though the bug may not be in ffmpeg2theora, it would be great if
you could fix it. Don't hesitate to ask me to make further tests if this
can help.

Thanks for this very useful utility,

Cheers,

Michael.
