Playback Stops Early (End Of Video Cut Off)

[jakj]

It's always about 1/2 to 2 seconds (roughly), it happens on any type of file whatsoever (Xvid AVI, H.264, DivX AVI, MP3, WAV, even old original MPEGs), and it happens every single time without fail. If I have a video or audio file that ends with someone speaking, the last word they say is cut off. If I add a short silence to the end of the file, then I can hear what they say, and then the silence is cut off.

I searched around on the Internet, and I've found a couple posts here and there about this, but they are 1-3 years old. This is not a problem with my files, and this is not a problem with my OS, as this has happened on Ubuntu Jaunty/Karmic/Lucid, old and new versions of VLC, and files directly downloaded or hand-re-encoded through Avidemux. It's just not reasonable to have to go and re-encode silence at the end of every video and audio file on my entire system, and this has really started to chafe me recently.

What version do you have
I tried 1.1.4 and 1.2 (git version).
with 1.1.4 I couldn't see the last 1/2 second of the video.
with 1.2-git I can see the last image.

If you have a version < 1.1 it may be worse.

Ah, good news then! I am using the version from Ferramosca Roberto's PPA (package version 1.1.4.1-1-lffl-lucid-ppa1), under Lucid, right now. I'll wait until 1.2 releases, then, and see if it's fixed for me.

Same problem here but I happened to found a weird workaround that If you have your flash-player loaded in some page(ex: youtube) of your browser, than you will get the complete audio played in vlc, no more cout-off at the end of video.
My OS is unbuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, Linux x86_64
I don't know why but I guess this has something to do with the audio driver.

Anyway, can someone please assure me which version of vlc I have to grab to get rid of this problem,
Or maybe I should also upgrade ubuntu ?
THANX~

I have been doing some batch converting and the last 3 seconds been getting cut off. Has anyone figure out why and how to fix it ? I am on the newest version of vlc 1.1.10
