[vlc-devel] Patch to enable H264 playback on iPhones.

[Christopher Key]

Hello,

Attached is a patch that fixes a long standing problem whereby video 
encoded with vlc using x264 cannot be made playable on an iPhone.  The 
issue was traced to the H264 profile value being incorrectly set, which 
this patch addresses.  Looking at the code, the trunk appears to have 
had a complete rewrite and should be unaffected, but this may be useful 
for a 0.8.6e release.

Regards,

Chris
