Hi, vlc can't play a mp4 with H.264/AVC (B-Frames). ( cathedral-beta2-400extra-crop-avc.mp4 )

I get this Error:

VLC media player snapshot-20040905 Janus
vlc: h264.c:2526: fill_default_ref_list: Zusicherung »best_i != -1« nicht erfüllt.
Abgebrochen


I have uploded a sample to: ftp.videolan.org/incoming
It can be found here too : http://nero.ateme.com/beta_encodes/cath ... op-avc.mp4

Linux / snapshot-20040905 /ffmpeg CVS (today)

it is a well known fact that ffmpeg (and therefore vlc) can't play h264 with b-frames
