The VideoLAN Forums

With the VLC 0.9.5 i am unable to play .mkv videos.

I get the following information :No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.


it is a mkv with a h264 video codec (1280X576) and a vorb audio codec (44.100 khz) inside.

Some more messages on the console screen :

[00000643] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `undf'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

Strange that i can see a still picture of it before the message appears.

The old VLC (0.86e) playes this file fine.

P.S.
Computer too slow can't be the reason, since XINE,Mplayer and OLD VLC playes this file fine.
System is a AMD 2600 X2,4 GB RAM,NVidea 9600 Graphic Card.

Give more messages.

okay,

This is going a long time, i 've pasted the entire lines into a file since it is alot of messages wich can not be posted here,
i don't know how to post with attachments.

Did you compile your VLC?

yes, i compiled vlc myself from source.

Hi ALL!!!

i'm just hanging around with a similar problem;

A few months ago, i managed to compile and run my sip module with vlc 0.9.0 . Now i'm trying to upgrade to vlc 0.9.5 and i got the following message:

vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--sip-port=4060'

Does somebody know what "vlc_entry__0_9_0m" means ?? seem like i'm carrying along some config of the old 0.9.0 version in my module.

I will apperciate any help

Thanks
