Comment 24 for bug 305286

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.

Those fixes like in comment #19 don't work when you upload the video to a site like Youtube. Converting the ogv to mkv first or avi first doesn't fix the issue.

There are many examples on youtube of videos that didn't convert because of this issue:

On this youtube support page someone suggested that youtube might have an out of date version of ffmpeg or theora or whatever:

Is there anyway to down-convert an ogv file created by gtk-recordmydesktop (or cheese or whatever) to an older version of theora or whatever so that youtube can properly convert it and display it?

Or is there a ppa for the older version of theora or whatever.
