ffmpeg is working great for most things.  One problem I've run into now though
is with videos with slides in them (wmv3?).  ffmpeg doesn't support them and
produces a segmentation fault.  The message is:

[wmv3 @ 0x2832a028]This decoder is not supposed to produce picture. Dont report
this as a bug!

So I'm back to using mencoder on those which works but the -ofps setting needs
to be set appropriately otherwise the timing isn't correct.  Any ideas?
