Hi

I uploaded a sample file, which is unplayable with VLC player 0.8.6d and 
also with the latest 0.9.8a.

I don't suppose that it's caused by HW, since the problem is the same 
with another computer, but here it goes:
- AOpen i855gmem-lfs with 2Gb memory, 1,8GHz Pentium-M (Dothan)
- Gigabyte GF7600
- D-Link DWA-547
- 2x Nebula Digi-TV -cards

The recording is from Nebula Digi-TV -card and with certain options the 
recording cannot be opened with Windows Media Player or VLC player,
but it can be played back with the Nebula Digi-TV software and I can 
load it to Pinnacle Studio 12 editor and there's no problem in playing 
it back
or handling it there. I can also load it to some other video editors and 
players, like Video ReDo 3 or DVB Viewer 2.3, so it is readable by other 
programs as well.

It seems that the "recording format" option is the one setting that 
makes the difference. There are the following options in digitv.exe 
-software:
Original Broadcasting Format (this was used with the simpsonit.mpg -file)
DVD authoring tool compatible

It seems that the files recorded with "original broadcasting format" 
cannot be understood with current version of VLC -player. It would be 
nice, if VLC player would
be able to recognize this format as well.

Thank you for your time.

BR,
