The VideoLAN Forums

Maybe that's somehow specific to my system. I cant play those files with ffdshow+mpc or quicktime alternative+mpc. havent tried original QT. Maybe these files are broken, but i think people wont put them on the page then.

To me it only shows the first frame of the video and plays the sound. VLC 0.8.6e

Confirmed. It doesn't work with nightly builds either. Quicktime and MPlayer handles it ok. And I didn't find previous Trac ticket so maybe creating a new one would be ok.
