OK, thanks. I guess I could have tried harder to find these, but not 
much was showing up in Google, and I wasn't sure whether it was 
Debian-specific.

Sort of... I get some sort of picture, but it flickers badly, and I 
think it keeps alternating between the first frame and current frame. So 
it could be a deinterlacing issue, because it's a clip from a DVB 
recording, which is 1080i AFAIK. Then it segfaults at the end of the clip.

Judging by the links you posted, I think this is a separate issue, so 
it's probably worth keeping this ticket open for it, with a more 
specific title.
