Hello,

Cinelerra is failing to load a video encoded with XviD and gives the
following error message:
virtual int FileMOV::read_frame(VFrame*):
quicktime_read_frame/quicktime_decode_video failed, result:

I've found references to this error message on every major Linux
distribution's mailing list and even twice in your bug tracking system.
However, everyone who's been complaining reports to still be able to
playback the loaded video. I'm not so lucky, since in my case less the
playback stops after less than a second in a video that is 15-20 minutes
long.

The videos are reported by file(1) as:
RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps, video: XviD,
audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 44100 Hz)

Gstreamer and xine can play these videos perfectly on this system. I'm
using Christian Marillat's Debian package of version 2.1.0~svn20071125
on Debian/unstable for i386. I've followed the shmem recommendation.

I'm kind of at loss on what to do now. I don't need to do anything
fancy. These videos are years old and were encoded by a friend on Linux,
I don't think there is another source for them. I just need to crop some
parts of the video with audio on-sync. Every other video editor I've
tried (Lives, Open Movie Player, pitivi (not really an editor it seems))
has given me some trouble of its own. Any suggestions on how to do
exactly this would be very welcome. At this stage I'm even willing to do
the clipping/cropping from the command-line, if necessary.

I could make this video available if it would help assess the bug, but
it's almost 200 MB and thus I couldn't host it publicly.
