Problem With Chroma

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using WinFF 1.5.0 compiled from source under Slackware...

My ffmpeg version
---------------------

ffmpeg -v

When I try to convert to any format that has the chroma option in it I get this 
message below;

Oh by the way here's the presets I'm using that 1.5.0 creates, I just edited it 
and removed what I didn't want;

I've been playing with this and then I deleted the ~/.winff folder and 
restarted WinFF, now when I try to convert something all it says is;

Unrecognized option 'directpred'.

Then if I remove this option I'm getting the chroma message above. Before it 
was just complaining about chroma first, now it's the directpred and then if I 
remove this option it complains about the chroma.

THANKS

Hmm, I think we forgot to update the presets for the Windows release. The 
preset file that should have come with 1.5.0 is the one in the download section:
http://winff.googlecode.com/files/presets-libavcodec54_v1.wff

But I don't think it helps for this issue. I will investigate.

• Added labels: Component-Presets

Actually, I don't think the whole "-cmp +chroma" needs to be removed, just the 
+. So that it reads "-cmp chroma".

I will upload a new version of the presets-libavcodec54 shortly to the download 
section.
