Package: kino
Version: 0.75-7
Severity: wishlist
The ffmpeg divx export scripts export a valid mpeg4 file but
tag this file as "FMP4". This causes problems with some
free software video players which don't understand that "FMP4"
is functionally identical to "DIVX".
test.avi is tagged as "FMP4"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ wxvlc kino/test.avi
VLC media player 0.8.2-svn Janus
libhal.c 767 : org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceDoesNotExist raised
"Service "org.freedesktop.Hal" does not exist"
[00000245] main playlist: adding playlist item `kino/test.avi' (
kino/test.avi )[00000264] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module
for fourcc `FMP4'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

test5.avi is tagged as "DIVX"

The fix for this problem is a trivial change to the export scripts.
"2" ) ffmpeg -f dv -i - -f avi -deinterlace -s 320x240 -b 500 -acodec
"$acodec" -ab 64 -y "$file".avi ;;
Should be changed to:
"2" ) ffmpeg -f dv -i - -f avi -deinterlace -s 320x240 -b 500 -acodec
"$acodec" -ab 64 -vtag divx -y "$file".avi ;;
The only change to the output with "-vtag divx" is the "FMP4" tag.
