are using the fork of FFmpeg ?

Hi,
Unfortunately I don't know what "the fork of FFmpeg" means. Other forms
of audio files don't work either. So does the program allow you to make
additions to a project after it has been SAVED the first time? I was
able to join 3 video files together into one project and successfully
play it back.
Sincerely,
John

I've just finish to read this article which explain well the situation.
Just for info now FFmpeg is out in 2.1 and libav 0.8.6. The 0.9.0 seems to
come soon. There are two years ago, they were at the 0.8.6 both.

If you want to use a functional Version follow this FAQ :
https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+faq/1040 (Hum I should update it
about the sven PPA)

More explanation in this thread :
http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1261&sid=474754a1c52931dd6a951227c5c202c5

Use the sven PPA. Normally, its should remove the fork (and all software
using it like Openshot) . Once time it is done re-install all them. Good
luck.
