Certainly. I presume that this patch supersedes all other FFmpeg patches so that I apply it to a brand new clean svn download of the Audacity source code? Yes, it superseeds all other FFmpeg patches. It should be applied to a clean svn checkout. Which ...

Can you test the patch from bug #233? Certainly. I presume that this patch supersedes all other FFmpeg patches so that I apply it to a brand new clean svn download of the Audacity source code? Which version of FFmpeg should I use this with? Will I need to completely remove ...

I've got the debug version to run, but now I'm unable to get FFmpeg to be recognised at all.

Starting with a clean SVN download, what patches/code modifications are advised and which version of FFmpeg would it be best for me to test?

... at a time. Audacity 1.3 Projects will not open in 1.2. Now go back up there, download and install both the "lame" software and the "FFMpeg" software. Between them, they will (should) natively recognize and manage AVI without the Import step. Just File > Open. Koz
