[vlc] Re: vlc on ipaq

[Rhea Santos]

thanks again!=)I can now view streaming video on my PC with vlc and from 
another PC running vls.Just a follow up question, besides the network 
bandwidth, would the format (mpeg,vob,avi) and the file size would make the 
difference on the quality of video output?(which format & file size(range) 
would give videolan the best quality)

Now, im testing vlc on my ipaq running:
	 opie-vlc udp://@:1234
but the program exits due to segmentation fault.

how can I  go about this?

thanks a lot...
