[Bug 937561] Re: H264 MOV files from Canon DSLR resolution reported as 1920x1088

[Jason Gerard DeRose]

Reinhard,

Thanks! I'm all about getting the Debian package merged or synced, so
please let me know what I can do to help. For Quantal, does a sync make
more sense than a merge?

I have a test case for this here (uses GStreamer, includes a sample
Canon MOV file):

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jderose/+junk/testcase-937561/view/head:/testcase.py

But in writing that test case, I realized that there are deeper issues
going on with this, at least from the GStreamer side of things. Although
there was certainly the bug in libav that Måns Rullgård found, my test
case only fails when gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad is installed. Remove
-bad, and the correct height is reported.

This might suggest that an element in -bad has the wrong priority, but
it also suggests that gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg isn't actually using the
broken code path in libav in the first place. I'll keep digging into
this.
