    Hi, I'm trying to figure out why the vlc player won't play .flv files encoded with H264, when it handles everything else. I've read somewhere that it's dependant on ffmpeg. Is this true? Running Ubuntu Hardy with what I think are latest versions of vlc etc.....

    mplayer - 2:1.0~rc3svn29325-0hardy1
    ffmpeg....3:0.cvs 20070307-5ubuntu7.3+medibuntu1
    vlc....0.9.9a
    mencoder...2:1.0~rc3svn29325-0hardy1
    The Mplayer plays these files but it's not my player of choice.

    Vlc output for .flv file with h264....
    „No suitable decoder module:
    VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

    Did you compile vlc or install from some repo? Vlc is upto 1.0.1, which includes security patches. You should update if you can.

    You can do mplayer -identify file.flv to see what codec mplayer identifies it as.

    Check that you have libx264 installed. If you installed libavcodec, libavformat, libavutil, libpostproc, and libswscale from medibuntu it will pull in all the needed libs.
    Linux _is_ user-friendly. It is not ignorant-friendly and idiot-friendly.
