i have other videos using diferents codecs than crashes too but using internal's xine-lib ffmpeg solved all the problems.

[Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-03-23 08:42:47 UTC]

Crash in which way? Segfault? Can you be a bit more specific?
Can you find a freely available sample file showing this behaviour?
Did you recompile xine-lib after upgrading ffmpeg?

[Comment 3 Ana Andrés 2006-03-23 09:16:07 UTC]

sorry but im not capable of reproduce the crash again, the error was about some mising simbols about dd_show_decode or something like that but seems its was my own fault because i recompiled xine-lib with ffmpeg and the videos are working fine again... the only change i have done was uninstalling libdc1394 and rebuilding ffmpeg without 1394 support.
Sorry for waste your time but i think i have found a bug thanks for all.

Remember to rebuild xine-lib (and vlc) after upgrading ffmpeg, as it breaks ABI.
