Description dkelly 2005-09-04 21:30:19 UTC 
Quite simply, vlc-devel does not seem to have the proper video codec for DX50
format. It plays the audio portion but not video. I've tinkered with "make
config" looking for an option which might restore this functionality but have
failed.

Adding WIN32_CODECS played an .avi file which non-devel vlc would not. Didn't
help the DX50 file.

Read on a VLC forum that ffmpeg is used to for DX50/DivX 5.0. So removed vlc
and ffmpeg, installed ffmpeg-devel-0.4.9.c.20050620, rebuilt vlc-devel, and no
change.

Fix: 

# pkg_deinstall vlc-devel-0.8.2.20050813
# pkginstall vlc
How-To-Repeat: 
% file videofile.ogm
Chobits_Special.ogm: Ogg data, OGM video (DivX 5)

% vlc videfile.ogm
VLC media player snapshot-20050813 Janus
[00000256] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `DX50'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

I don't understand this line, WIN32_CODECS are not supported in vlc 
and are hardly supported in vlc-devel. Am I just misunderstanding?

Also note this could be something wrong in this release. I will be updating 
in the next day or so, hopefully that will fix the problem.

Feedback timeout, I will be updating vlc-devel in the next few days. 
The latest cvs snapshot has a few problems, but once its updated 
and if you still have problems please send another pr. Thanks.
