The Medibuntu repositories have been added, GPG keys added.  I've told
Synaptic to prefer the latest version, and I've told it to prefer the
installed version... no difference here.  There's simply no package
called "ffmpeg" listed under any of the Medibuntu sections in Synaptic.
There are packages like "libavcodec-extra-52" and its friends... but if
I try to install them, Synaptic wants to uninstall a huge list of other
packages... including all my media players!

This is just too much jumbled noise for me to handle.  I've been chasing
this little rabbit down so many trails that my head is spinning.  I
think I need to start over.

So... what version of ffmpeg do I need to install in order for OpenShot
to open 3gp files?  Where can I get this version, and how?  Is there any
way to get it without going through Medibuntu?

Thanks, everyone, for your patience with me.

3gp and XVID files not working correctly

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New

Bug description:
I just got a Motorola Droid, and the video it takes is in 3gp format (H.264 with MPEG-4 AAC audio).  When I import these files into OpenShot, their video plays in the Preview window at a faster rate than their audio, which plays at normal speed.  Because of this, each clip has an amount of white space at the end proportionate to its overall length.  This makes it impossible to edit transitions between clips, because when playing across the edit, I don't see where i am in the first clip-- all I see is the white from the end of the first clip transitioning into the next clip.

Unfortunately, when exporting, this behavior remains.

Also, the files I import from my Flip mini-camcorder behave badly, though in a different way.  They're XVID MPEG-4 AVI files with ADPCM audio.  The symptom I'm getting is terrible stuttering of audio; video looks OK, but the audio is acting as if it's had tiny chunks of silence pasted into it at 1-frame intervals.  Voices sound robotic, etc.

I'm running OpenShot version 1.0.0 installed from .deb for Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit.  According to Gdebi, all dependencies installed properly.
