[vlc] Re: Bug re-opened: vlc video rendering stops after a few loops

[Paolo Casagranda]

Hi Christopher,
thank you for the information. You give good news for the installation. A 
small Howto could be very useful and appreciably speed up the debugging 
process.
As I wrote on the last e-mail, the main problems were with the installation 
of libmpeg2 (and another 2 packages). However I tried all this on RH9.0.

I'll give you feed-back on the results of the new installation from CVS.

Regards
Paolo
