[vlc] Re: Zero Byte Output

[Peter Hutnick]

I extracted contrib-20060428-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2 over my
existing cygwin install.  It no longer creates a zero byte file!  But
I'm only getting audio.

The relevant messages (and a little context) from the VLC message window follow.


message warning: message queue overflowed

Clearly the problem is a missing MPEG2 codec for ffmepg, but I have no
idea where to get it or how to add it.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
