I will probably get more direct access to an Intel machine in the near future. If the issue is still present, I will hunt it as if my life depended on itI been trying to view an Xvid video with AC3 on my Intel Mac mini.
With VLC 0.8.5, I get the green triangle. I tried downloading one of the nightly builds (trunk-intel-20060802-0217 to be exact) and it crashed about 5 seconds after opening the file.
The audio stream played ok, but I couldn't see any video. I have pasted the output of VLC -vvv in the pastebin linked below. Hopefully this will be of some help.

i'm sort of a n00b so pardon me, but, could this be why some .avi files i have are not playing right now? i'm using the latest nightly build.the filters are being changed from one format into a newer format. It will take a while before it's all stable again.
you can move the vlc windows to the 2nd monitor and then use fullscreen, in that way it will workHi
I just downloaded the latest nightly build and it seems whatever I do, VLC won't show fullscreen video on the secondary monitor only the default (primary).
This has worked in every nightly build so far.
I'm using VLC build:
branch-intel-20061023-0327.dmg 23-Oct-2006 03:25 21M
PS. The blanking feature (display a black screen on the screen where no video is being shown) doesn't work either, it defaults to the primary screen.
Thanks for the suggestion, but if I move the video window to the second monitor and go to fullscreen, it goes fullscreen on the primary monitor anywayyou can move the vlc windows to the 2nd monitor and then use fullscreen, in that way it will workHi

here the same problem
PLUS i also get crashes with those builds
on first start they work in some cases but on most cases the crash
-when i load vlc via a avi then it works, but not when i start it plain via the dock..
I haven't had a chance to try this with a nightly snapshot, but with VLC 0.8.5 I found that I had to move *the VLC control window* to the secondary monitor (TV in my case) to get fullscreen on it. Frankly, it's a bit inconvenient because the control is obscured by the fullscreen video being shown. It would be great to be able to have the control on the primary monitor and the fullscreen video on the secondary one or vice versa--if the MacOS X API permits such a thing. I guess that the position of the video window should be detectable indepenently from the position of the control window, and so it could be fullscreened to the screen of its own. However, I'm a desperate lamer when it comes to GUI APIs. :-)Thanks for the suggestion, but if I move the video window to the second monitor and go to fullscreen, it goes fullscreen on the primary monitor anyway :(
I hope the developers still are listening in on this thread...
