Hi,

I am trying to compile VLC trunk on ubuntu 7.0.4.

I get it to compile, but when I use it to open a mov file, I can hear the audio, but I can't see the video.
I see the following error:

VLC probably does not support the 'h263' audio or video format.
Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

Can you please tell me how to fix my problem?
I think I have ffmpeg installed properly. I have these files in my /usr/local/lib:
$ ls -la libav*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15123666 2007-06-07 23:28 libavcodec.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4010450 2007-06-07 23:28 libavformat.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 133462 2007-06-07 23:28 libavutil.a
$ pwd
/usr/local/lib

here is my configure for ffmpeg.

$ ./configure --enable-x11 --enable-xvideo --disable-gtk --enable-sdl --enable-ffmpeg-faac --enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi --enable-libmpeg2 --enable-dvdnav --enable-vorbis --enable-ogg --enable-theora --enable-faac --enable-mkv --enable-freetype --enable-fribidi --enable-speex --enable-flac --enable-caca --enable-skins --enable-skins2 --enable-alsa --disable-kde --enable-qt --enable-wxwindows --enable-ncurses --enable-release --disable-a52 --enable-libmpeg2 --disable-dbus --disable-hal

Thank you for any pointers.

See http://www.jbkempf.com/blog/post/2007/0 ... Feisty-704 Maybe that helps.

Thanks

To me ffmpeg is wrongly Compiled and vlc flag --with-ffmpeg-tree= is not set
