Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: synfigstudio

Hi there,

My name is David Marceau.  I recently installed the 28 April 2011
torrent iso release of 11.04 on an old PC.  Once installed I tried to
install synfigstudio, but it wasn't in the repository as before in
previous ubuntu versions.

Also the ffmpeg render from within synfigstudio didn't work, but with the 
following script I found on the internet it works fine:
#!/usr/bin/python

# ffmpeg - a work-around for synfig to filter out the bogus arguments that
# get passed in when rendering

import os
import sys

original_args = sys.argv
new_args = []

#print original_args

while len(original_args) > 0:
    arg = original_args.pop(0)
    if arg == "-loop" or arg == "-hq":
        pass
    elif arg == "-title":
        original_args.pop(0)
    else:
        new_args.append(arg)
    
#print new_args

os.execv("/usr/bin/ffmpeg", new_args)

Cheers,
David Marceau
