This fixes the underlying problem of the DV crashings - within blender code. Problem was, that we tried to seek on decode errors. (Unintentionally, curposition wasn't advanced in that case). That triggered a bug within ffmpeg, that made blender crash. My workaround fix for 2.49 actually only prevented the crash, but didn't stop ffmpeg from only decoding black frames after that point... (The patch also cleans up the color conversion a little bit, by using PIX_FMT_RGBA (still need to find a way to make it work with video files that actually *have* an alpha channel. At least, latest FFMPEG-SVN swscaler has the ability to use alpha.) Looks like we can remove extern/ffmpeg now...
Welcome to the fun world of open source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/community/get-involved Community: http://www.blender.org/Community Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender Documentation: http://www.blender.org/education-help Bug tracker: http://www.blender.org/development/report-a-bug Feature request tracker: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Requests
