Thank you for information, but so far I am trying to keep my system as close to the main portage tree as possible and really afraid of any masked packaged and even the packages from other overlays. By the way, is there any way to find why any given package is masked in the main portage tree? Back to the main topic. I have found out the ffmpeg can convert dav to avi but it also outputs a lot of error messages. May be, because I use some wrong options? I use: ffmpeg -i input.dav -vcodec libx264 -crf 24 output.avi The error messages are like these: missing picture in access unit with size 27time=00:00:04.92 bitrate= 171.6kbits/s non-existing PPS 1 referencedze= 145kB time=00:00:08.00 bitrate= 148.5kbits/s [h264 @ 0x2b30ca0] decode_slice_header error [h264 @ 0x2b30ca0] no frame!
