@Doug: x264 can't be updated without recompiling or even updating libav as well, AFAIK.
I've added a patched version of x264 to my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~maarten-baert/+archive/simplescreenrecorder Normally I wouldn't mess with official packages, but since the official one is completely broken, I can't possibly make it worse, right? :) It's the original package from Ubuntu with the upstream patch applied to it. For those who want to try it (at your own risk): sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade ** Attachment added: "Upstream patch (backported)" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x264/+bug/1241772/+attachment/3885242/+files/Fix-array-overreads-that-caused-miscompilation-in-gcc-4.8 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241772 Title: Miscompilation with gcc 4.8 (segfault in x264_cqm_init) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x264/+bug/1241772/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
