I am having problems playing a video file with mp4a audio. I have VLC 0.8.4a on ArchLinux currently. I read on the forum that this may be related to not having the faad2 plugin, so I recompiled VLC with faad support but it still will not work. I also tried compiling against several different versions of faad2, including the one recommended on the VLC download page. I don't know if this would be relevant or not, but the files I am trying to play are encoded with DIVX 5.2.1 and are in mkv format. The error I get when I try to play the file is:
Code: Select all
[00000399] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `mp4a'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
