VLC plays a MOV video as blank video
Posted: 23 Aug 2010 00:51
When I download the following video and play it with VLC v1.1.3, VLC plays the audio OK, but VLC plays the video as blank (black):
Click on "Quicktime NCSA demo image" on this page: http://wvnvaxa.wvnet.edu/vmswww/index.html
The video plays correctly with QuickTime v7.6.6.
VLC has the same behavior with my PCs running Windows XP x86 and Windows 7 x64. I think it is a VLC decoder problem, not specific to Windows. I hope a Mac or Linux VLC user will confirm this.
I hope this bug is fixed in VLC, as I would like to uninstall QuickTime. Other MOV videos I have tried in VLC play OK
