This is most likely due to avconv from 0.8.x branch. Try one from 10.x.

Yes, I tried avconv from 10.x and it worked. I suggest adding a version check for this. I have written a patch for that -- http://codepad.org/hyiQjULw or you can find it pasted below. While I was doing it, I fixed a minor bug relating to finding the correct version tuple -- version_tuple could not deal with versions like '10.1-6' (as was reported in my case).

I just noticed that o.append(ms) in version_tuple in that patch should be o.extend(ms) otherwise it adds the list as a sublist.

It's just a test, so it does not really matter that much, but I've amended it in 47d7c64.

Also required_version = '10-0' is wrong -- should be '10.0' -- I think it only uses '-' for minor versions.

That's fine too; 10.0. and 10-0 are equivalent.
