Try VLC 0.9.6:I downloaded 0.9.4 and have noticed a bug when fast forwarding flv files. After loading the file and fast forwarding VLC crashes approx. 90% of the time.

You are very useful, and that is more and more rare those days...Hi. I have been compiling the last couple of nightlies in Ubuntu 8.04 (with latest kernel updates). I have the ability to test under quite a wide variety of platforms and environments due to the number of computers I personally posess and have access to. I can test single-core, dual-core, quad-core, dual-cpu, AGP graphics, PCI-E graphics, ATI, NVIDIA, Windows (XP, 2003, 2008, Vista), Linux (Ubuntu). I edit video for some clients, so I can test various video formats as well.
This report is for the following computer:
Mainboard: Foxconn X38A Intel X38
CPU: Core 2 Quad 6600 (usually overclocked to 3.0, sometimes as high as 3.6)
Memory: 4x1GB Kingston HyperX DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 (currently at 1000 5-5-5-18)
Hard Drive: 500 GB Maxtor DiamondMax 21 SATA in AHCI mode.
DVD: LG Super-Multi with LightScribe
Video: PNY XLR8 NVidia GTX260
OS: Ubuntu 8.04.1 64-bit with Kernel update.
Video driver: NVidia driver 177.82 for Linux 64-bit
VLC Build: vlc-snapshot-20081129.tar.bz2
Configure and Compile went OK. Contact me if you want outputs. My Q6600 can configure pretty quickly.
I played my folder containing a full-file DVD-rip of The Matrix (I own the DVD and created the files using DVDFab5)
Sound: The A/52 support is working perfectly. I get:
a52 decoder: A/52 channels:7 samplerate:48000 bitrate:384000
The audio is properly decoded by my processor.
Video: I can run in X11 mode. If I use OpenGL mode, it gives me a segmentation fault as soon as I try to play video.
Have some problems. At the default aspect, the video is compressed into the left 4/5 of the window and there was just black space in the right 1/5. Resizing the window made no difference. When I attempted to go fullscreen it worked, but the stdout showed:
X11 request 42.0 failed with error code 8: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
When in fullscreen, the video only occupied the upper-left quarter of the screen and continued to look squished. Now, when I switched aspect to 16:10, it filled the screen, but I could tell it was slightly stretched. The same effect occurs if you use a HDMI-DVI converter to hook your cable box to a widescreen 16:10 monitor. It is a 16:9 image, but it stretches to 16:10. Slight, but noticable.
If I switch to 4:3, it letterboxes in both axes, but still looks stretched vertically.
If I try to resize the window while playing I get a segmentation fault.
Also, what happened to the feature that allows you to play a folder containing DVD files as if it were a DVD? When I first used VLC (version 0.8.6), if I used "Open Directory", it would start up the menus and play the right tracks seamlessly. Now it just plays the VOB files, sometimes starting with the special features. In fact, a lot of times it will play the French audio track because they switch the audio tracks on each of the VOBs in an attempt to discourage copying. Kind of funny seeing the Merovingian, who has a French accent, move his mouth in English and speak in French.
Let me know if there are any other platforms that need testing, because as I said, I can test on a lot of different platforms.
