Cannot play video H264

[metallico]

Hi everybody.
I'm trying to play a file encoded with H264 using VLC media player but the player shows a black screen for a couple of seconds, then stops (either Windows or Mac version).
However, I can play the file with Windows Media Player.

These are the file's info from mediainfo.
I've the lastest version of VLC and I restored the preferences.

Any idea?
Thank you for your attention.

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of a problematic file to either http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ or to EmbedUpload.com, the latter will upload the file for you to several other hosts and then post the link to the file here.

Cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

50 MB max should be enough.

Here's the log http://pastebin.com/CMHcZcbt

I uploaded a sample file here http://www.embedupload.com/?d=0FH3CJMGZG

The video comes from a backup of a DVR used to record surveillance videos.
It's not a single file currupted. All the files from the backup of the DVR have the same problem with VLC.

Thank you for your attention.

Yes, the AVI demuxer does not like it.
