The VideoLAN Forums

hello,

I recently installed (compiled myself) a newer version for vlc, and now I can't play the movies anymore that I copied from my digital camera. Everything else seems to be working fine. Today I installed what I think is the latest version, but I'm still getting the same error:

vlc MVI_2128.AVI

can anyone provide help with this?

thanks, D.

Do you have libswscale (from ffmpeg) and its development headers? Was it detected by VLC's configure ? Was the swscale module built?

apparently, yes:

did anyone have the same experience?

dd someone solve this?

gretings, Danny.

can anyone point me to an answer?

ok, solved this: by reinstalling ffmpeg (latest version)

ffmpeg:
./configure --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-shared --enable-libxvid --enable-gpl --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libmp3lame

vlc:
./configure --enable-faad --enable-dmo --enable-loader --enable-vorbis
