Hi Florian,

I downloaded the precompiled binary from www.videolan.org. The file was 
named vlc-0.2.91-MacOSX.tar.gz. When I installed and ran this binary 
however, in the "vlc"-->"About" menu it displays version number 0.2.90 - 
I always found this strange...
I just visited the videolan homepage but couldn't find a precompiled 
0.2.92-pre1 version - could you e-mail me a llink where I can download 
it?

I will try to compile vlc myself if you think that might help, I just 
didn't have the time yet (I will have to read through a lot of docs, as 
I never compiled anything on a unix system so far. I have made my whole 
computer experience with Windows PCs and Macs, Mac Os X is my very first 
contact with a unix system :) ).

I will e-mail you a small VOB ( 5-10 MB, just a few frames...) that 
doesn't play with vlc as soon as I can. I will also e-mail you the 
output from the command line, as you told me. Thanks again for your help!

Greetings, Andreas
