All -
Where does VLC pull its codecs from? Can it use other things, like the "windows" dlls that mplayer can point to?
Weird issues - I finally got things working for an important broadcast, but I have to use my personal desktop to do it. Running Ubuntu 6.10.... a second computer, also with Ubuntu 6.10, and both have the vlc that come with apt-get install... My desktop can play video from a v4l capture card/webcam/etc but the second computer just displays a blue box for video.
Anyway, I'm duping my desktop over to the second machine, but I'm wondering where the differences between the 2 vlc installs are coming from....

The codecs are internal to VLC. It does not use proprietary dlls as MPlayer does.
Change the Video Output module and options on the second computer.
