vlc player .flv encoded with H264 |

| Hi, I'm trying to figure out why the vlc player won't play .flv files encoded with H264, when it handles everything else. I've read somewhere that it's dependant on ffmpeg. Is this true? Running Ubuntu Hardy with what I think are latest versions of vlc etc.....
mplayer - 2:1.0~rc3svn29325-0hardy1 ffmpeg....3:0.cvs 20070307-5ubuntu7.3+medibuntu1 vlc....0.9.9a mencoder...2:1.0~rc3svn29325-0hardy1 The Mplayer plays these files but it's not my player of choice. Vlc output for .flv file with h264.... „No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

Has anybody found a solution for this....or any help....tearing the hair out! Obliged |

| Did you compile vlc or install from some repo? Vlc is upto 1.0.1, which includes security patches. You should update if you can.
You can do mplayer -identify file.flv to see what codec mplayer identifies it as. Check that you have libx264 installed. If you installed libavcodec, libavformat, libavutil, libpostproc, and libswscale from medibuntu it will pull in all the needed libs. |
