Playing flv-files works fine, except for this one

Postby Mister Floppy » 05 Nov 2006 09:54

Hi,

I'm using VLC media player 0.8.5, and playing flv-files with it works fine.

But there's one file I can't play, look here (4,7 MB): http://www.pczapper.tv/userclub/content/11.flv

When trying to start the video, I get the following error message: 'Unrecognized format for 11.flv'

The newest version of GSpot gives the following information for this file:
File Type: Flash Video (.FLV)
Mime Type: video/x-flv
Compatibility Warning:
- Requires Flash 8+ capable player

I've even installed Flash 9 onto my system, and in my browser there's no problem with this video by visiting http://www.pczapper.tv/mediamanager_cli ... ent/11.flv .

But this video doesn't play with VLC media player! So is there a way to make the tool compatible with it?

Greetings

Thank you both for this hint, it works fine! Now I'm looking happily for the release of 0.8.6 final :-)
