Comment (by mario66):

 If you were as fast fixing this bug as you are to downplay the importance,
 we would have no issue here.

 I created a forum thread here
 https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=175278 and it got lots of
 attention. People wrote me personal messages because they had the exact
 same problem and asked me if I meanwhile found a solution. The truth is,
 however, that still no solution exists. I'm disappointed. ffmpeg is just
 another failing open source project where the developers only focus on
 integrating fancy cool stuff no one needs. If you read the changelog it
 mentions dozens of unnecessary filters you ''added'' but it never says
 that something was ''fixed''.

 This is why open source always fails because the glorified people who work
 in their spare time for this project just do things that make fun not
 things that are actually necessary.
 Only if people get payed to fix bugs there is a chance that the project
 will become usable. That's the sad truth.

 Libav was so right. It had much better developers with a much better
 mindset, too bad it was abandoned.
