vlc and codecs
Posted: 16 Apr 2007 16:14
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....
