compilation of vlc 9.5 on ubuntu, no video or sound

Postby vangs » 26 Oct 2008 18:15

I successfully compiled 9.5 on ubuntu 8.04, it looks like I am missing something. Whatever file I try to play I get the error
"No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "XVID". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this."

XVID is replaced with the codecs of the file I am trying to play.

Your ffmpeg/avcodec is not correctly compiled/loaded.

I have compiled latest ffmpeg successfully, where should the libavcodec.a library seat after compilation? Cause it gets copied in the /usr/local/lib and there is another version of it in the /usr/lib. How can I verify which version of the codecs library is loaded?

Figured it out. I was missing the --with-ffmpeg-tree.
Now it works fine but does not play the MTS files still. Any other option I have to use during compilation???
