winff for older versions of Ubuntu should not use updated ffmpeg commands

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add a .mov file
2. Output Details tab:
   Convert to -> Websites
   Preset -> Flash Video (flv) for Web use Fullscreen
3. Video Tab
   Video Size -> 452 x 338

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Error: /usr/bin/ffmpeg: unrecognized option '-vf'
If i manually change '-vf scale=452:338' to '-s 452x338' it works as expected

Ubuntu 10.04
WinFF 1.4.2

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I used to get all issues in my inbox, but 
that seems to have stopped.

Did you install the winff package from my PPA, or did you update the presets 
from the web-site? Seems like the ffmpeg package in Ubuntu 10.04 is too old for 
our latest presets.

Thanks for following up on this.

winnff is from your PPA, I don't think I had previously installed the
presets from the website (for libavcodec52) so I did that now, but I
still get the same error message.

The preset will work if I don't add any other parameters, but in this
case when I try to set the video size it causes the error.

I will update my PPA with the old behavior of WinFF. This will need some time 
to work it out properly to have it supportable in the future.

I uploaded a new Winff package for lucid to my testing area, which hopefully 
fixes this issue.

Would you be so kind to test it from there?

I am probably only going to support this on lucid, as maverick is already past 
Ubuntu support.

Thanks for looking into this

I tried the test area version on a clean install of lucid and it works as 
expected.

Discontinuing support for older versions is understandable, I will probable 
move to Precise by the end of the year.

Many thanks

Mark

Closing as fixes as per comment 5.

The updated package is also in the main lucid repository.
