The latest version of png2theora (https://svn.xiph.org/trunk/theora/examples/png2theora.c) adds a few filtering flags when it opens pngs: png_read_png(png_ptr, info_ptr, PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_16 | PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_ALPHA | PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKING, NULL); This actually makes png2theora work for my needs (making seekwatcher movies for IO visualization) - could this be backported to our package? Thanks to Chris for finding this solution... Thanks, -Eric
libtheora-1.0beta2-3, which fixes this is on its way to a rawhide near you. I do not believe this warrants an F-8 update, but if you have compelling arguments let me know.
Thanks Hans - I'd like to see this in F8 so that I can put movie-capable seekwatcher into F8... it's not critical, but it was my original motivation for filing this bug. :) Thanks, -Eric

Well, the seekwatcher package doesn't exist yet... it's pending a solution for the movie-generation, then I can finish up the review & put it in. If that affects your decision. :) Thanks, -Eric
