I wonder, perhaps it is a CODEC, version, profile or some other specific issue, H.264 [it seems that] is an evolving standard; there have been a number of versions as detailed in this Wiki entry [1]. > The totem version might not be the latest - I'm on Debian 7.8.0. Why not 7.9 now? That is the current version of Wheezy (old stable).
