You are using an old version of ffmpeg, update it.

[macneisj]

I am
ffmpeg version 2.1.3 Copyright (c) 2000-2013 the FFmpeg developers
built on Oct 26 2014 12:08:36 with gcc 4.8.2 (GCC)
However updating ffmpeg is not a solution for many people, myself included. I built this distro from source and an upgrade of ffmpeg is not an easy task without breaking the system. Not every one lives in a package world :)

I am hoping for a better solution!

Thanks
