[vlc] Mpeg2 file plays in QT & MPlayer but not VLC?

[Matthew Neilson]

Hi there,

I have an mpeg2 file which I am trying to play in VLC. However, upon 
opening said file, I am greeted by a large black window and nothing 
else (i.e. no audio or video). Viewing this file with QuickTime results 
in *very* jerky video (approx. 2fps according to the "Movie Info" 
window) and perfect audio playback, while MPlayer plays the file 
flawlessly.

Being somewhat of a VLC purist (I only use these other two players as a 
last resort), I was wondering if anyone here has any ideas as to why 
this video clip is not playing in VLC. QuickTime's movie info on the 
clip is as follows:

Format: MPEG2 Muxed, 704 x 396
Movie FPS: 25
Data Size: 996.2 MB
Data Rate: 498.1 K bytes/sec
Duration: 00:34:18.21

The corresponding VLC Messages window is given at the end of this 
Email. I'm running OS X 10.3.5 on a 1GHz Titanium Powerbook (1GB of 
RAM) if that makes any difference.

Any help will be much appreciated,


-Matt
