no chroma module for J422 to YUY2 i=640x480 o=640x480

[velsd]

hello,

I recently installed (compiled myself) a newer version for vlc, and now I can't play the movies anymore that I copied from my digital camera. Everything else seems to be working fine. Today I installed what I think is the latest version, but I'm still getting the same error:

Do you have libswscale (from ffmpeg) and its development headers? Was it detected by VLC's configure ? Was the swscale module built?

[velsd]

apparently, yes:

[velsd]

did anyone have the same experience?

dd someone solve this?

gretings, Danny.

[velsd]

can anyone point me to an answer?

[velsd]

ok, solved this: by reinstalling ffmpeg (latest version)

ffmpeg:
./configure --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-shared --enable-libxvid --enable-gpl --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libmp3lame

vlc:
./configure --enable-faad --enable-dmo --enable-loader --enable-vorbis
