Hi Everyone,

I discovered a bug that has come back in 1.3 that was originally solved in 1.0 
and was fine until 1.2. You will see this bug if you are running the reference 
capture agent, have set your Epiphan VGA2USB type to be a V4LSRC and have set 
the framerate to 10 (in your 
/opt/matterhorn/felix/conf/services/org.opencastproject.capture.impl.ConfigurationManager.properties
 file you set the properties capture.device.vga.type=V4LSRC and 
capture.device.vga.framerate=10 for example). These settings are the most 
common if you are using a scaler to control the input and don't want to use the 
special pipeline we have designed to handle resolution and disconnection of 
sources.

If you are suffering from this bug, all of the captures from the capture agent 
once ingested will end in failure complaining that it failed to mux audio and a 
vga source together in the admin ui.

In the logs on the worker that you have handling your encoding workflows you 
will see something similar to this in the logs:
2012-06-18 12:20:44 INFO (FFmpegEncoderEngine:174) - [mpeg1video @ 0x18ca7e0] 
MPEG1/2 does not support 5/1 fps
2012-06-18 12:20:44 INFO (FFmpegEncoderEngine:174) - Error while opening 
encoder for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, 
rate, width or height

You can see the whole error in the ticket at: 
http://opencast.jira.com/browse/MH-8899
The original issue was raised here: http://opencast.jira.com/browse/MH-4897

The fix has been committed to trunk in this file: 
http://opencast.jira.com/svn/MH/trunk/etc/encoding/matterhorn-movies.properties

With the lines changing from:
profile.mux-av.work.ffmpeg.command = -strict unofficial -i #{in.video.path} -i 
#{in.audio.path} -sameq -shortest #{out.dir}/#{out.name}#{out.suffix}
to:
profile.mux-av.work.ffmpeg.command = -i #{in.audio.path} -i #{in.video.path} 
-sameq -shortest -strict unofficial #{out.dir}/#{out.name}#{out.suffix}

If you need to fix this on your own install you can alter the above first line 
to look like the second. The fix will be ported to 1.3.x and 1.4.x shortly. 
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks,
Adam
