vlc crashes (seg fault) while playing raw h264 files
Posted: 27 Aug 2009 17:59
The latest version of vlc-1.0.1 crashes while playing raw h264 files. I downgraded to version vlc-0.9.8a on both windows and ubuntu-9.04, the windows version of vlc-0.9.8a plays the raw h264 files perfectly fine, but the linux version seg faults. I compiled vlc-0.9.8a from source, I installed all the dependencies and installed vlc with ./configure --disable-swscale && make && make install. Why is the windows version playing the raw h264 files but not the linux version, can you someone please help me.
Here is the output of vlc:
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
