Re: VLC 64bit v2.2.1 not detecting available update

I'm having the same issue with the 32 bit version (also v2.2.1). A quick bit of googling revealed that multiple (at least 2, but I stopped looking) bug reports on the trac website have been closed by jb with the rather surprising answer that this is NORMAL behaviour. I can't get my head around why t...

Re: Type 1 DV-AVIs don't work?

Aha! :) I failed to find anything while googling - do you have the git commit details or any kind of link to the patch discussion (mailing list thread, forum posts, whatever form it took)? I'm just curious really, to understand the nature of the bug. Am also considering helping out with VLC now (sin...

Re: Type 1 DV-AVIs don't work?

Update: I succeeded in compiling the git tree (2.1.xxx pre Rincewind or similar) and the problem is gone! :shock: On balance, this is rather good news though it does rather kill my hopes of having the satisfaction of fixing a bug :) This probably either means that libav got fixed in between or that ...

Re: Type 1 DV-AVIs don't work?

No worries. Is my uploaded video only visible to special users though? (The one on the videolan website I mean.)

Will have a go at finding the problem myself and see how far I get...

Re: Type 1 DV-AVIs don't work?

Update: nobody replied (sob!) which I'm choosing to believe must mean that my upload to the videolan website has vanished into the ether. (Or at least I have noooo idea how anyone's gonna see it.) So the file's now accessible from http://www.embedupload.com/?d=7LD4WEOYEY Oh and I've also tried playi...

Re: Type 1 DV-AVIs don't work?

Thanks for the suggestion - hadn't realised vlc could output debugging messages :) While working on generating sensible samples for investigation I realised along the way that there are two (separate?) problems. Firstly, 32 kHz 12-bit DV streams cause audio problems, but only in type 1 DV AVIs as fa...

Type 1 DV-AVIs don't work?

Hi. Am working on transferring my mini-DV tape collection to the PC... Had some hiccups while using Scenalyzer to capture as type 2 DV-AVIs (some audio glitches), though I did find that the type 2 AVIs worked perfectly in VLC. Then tried capturing as type 1, and the glitches during capture are now m...
