Please take my apologies, I think I confused the h263 encoding (which was
enabled before) and h264 encoding.
In any case, the other problems you mention were most likely already there (and
I did not mean those above). I think I tested .ogg encoding with Clockwork,
which probably uses float audio then. In any case, it’s been a long time ago.
At that time, the ffmpeg version was still in our tree and it was patched, too.
Best regards,
