Having read the statements in the "blocking" bugs and the issue with mpeg encoding capabilities in ffmpeg (free).
Still annoying: I have to "hold" an old (insecure) vlc version in aptitude to be able to stream videos to my dbox (which needs mpeg2-stream). This since end of last year (2007) :( - with several unwanted updates and manual downgrades again. Is there no chance to get a fully functional version of vlc/ffmpeg from the non-free repository? Download and compiling a patched, own version isn't really a solution when there's comfortable way to do it via aptitude, insn't it?! Please give us an update Thanks Peter
