Not quite so. > VIDEO: [WVP2] 800x600 24bpp 1000.000 fps 31.8 kbps ( 3.9 kbyte/s) > Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object > file: No such file or directory > [vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1 I've seen this happen to me before. Some NVidia cards have something on the card which helps when rendering video, and to make it work one needs the VDPAU library. Try disabling (or removing) it, and then as it's not encountering this error, it should try to find a codec. -- Next meeting: Crown Hotel, Blandford Forum, Tuesday 2011-01-11 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
