Hi,

I am trying to compile VLC trunk on ubuntu 7.0.4.

I get it to compile, but when I use it to open a mov file, I can hear the
audio, but I can't see the video.
I see the following error:

VLC probably does not support the 'h263' audio or video format.
Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

Can you please tell me how to fix my problem?
I think I have ffmpeg installed properly. I have these files in my
/usr/local/lib:
$ ls -la libav*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15123666 2007-06-07 23:28 libavcodec.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  4010450 2007-06-07 23:28 libavformat.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   133462 2007-06-07 23:28 libavutil.a
$ pwd
/usr/local/lib

here is my configure for ffmpeg.

$ ./configure --enable-x11 --enable-xvideo --disable-gtk --enable-sdl
--enable-ffmpeg-faac --enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi --enable-libmpeg2
--enable-dvdnav  --enable-vorbis --enable-ogg --enable-theora --enable-faac
--enable-mkv --enable-freetype --enable-fribidi --enable-speex --enable-flac
--enable-caca --enable-skins --enable-skins2 --enable-alsa --disable-kde
--enable-qt --enable-wxwindows --enable-ncurses --enable-release
--disable-a52 --enable-libmpeg2 --disable-dbus --disable-hal

Thank you for any pointers.
