[vlc-devel] Problem playing h264 + AAC (VBR) in AVI container.

[jboileau]

Hi Kaarlo,

Thanks very much! for the qwick reply! Where can I upload the file?
Pastebin is for text only, is there the equivalent for binary files? I
doubt attaching à 4.44mb file to this email is a good idea. Let me
know...
