The VideoLAN Forums

Yes, I think so. I'm looking for a solution for the same problem. In the previous versions, there was an 'extract' button in the bookmarks menu but now it's gone and I have not figured out how to partially extract videos/audios from the original file.

Well let's get back to the original problem. As I posted here: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=52415 , this problem occurs with any 0.9.x version.

This is what happens as soon as the image freezes:

main error: decoder is leaking pictures, resetting the heap
main error: decoder is lmain error: decoder is leaking pictures, resetting the heap

first line keeps prompting indefinitely and the second one appears every 200-300 lines.

sorry, but where am i supposed to do that?
