gst-plugins-libav-1.14.4.4.1_p20181115 cannot correctly play cinepak encoded video anymore. The video just flashes by, as if it was playing at 1000FPS or so. Test file: http://83.212.107.13/~realnc/tmp/fbtitle.avi This affects applications using gstreamer. You can test this using the gst-play-1.0 test utility (installed by media-libs/gst-plugins-base): $ gst-play-1.0 fbtitle.avi This video is 8 seconds long, yet it's played in a fraction of a second with 1.14.4.4.1_p20181115. Enabling the "libav" USE flag of gst-plugins-base to use a bundled version of ffmpeg does not help. Downgrading to 1.14.4.3.4.5 (or any earlier version) and enabling the "libav" USE flag does fix the issue.

Oops, I used the emerge --info of my local copy of the ebuild, which says "::local". In this instance, it's the same as ::gentoo. I was doing some tests on the ebuild to see if maybe one of the patches is causing the issue.
