Ah, damn. So what's your feeling? Why does it fail with -vc ffmpeg12 ? Is it maybe one of the other parameters you're giving it that conflicts with the new one? I admit that they are all greek to me, but I notice that it is complaining about -vo, not -vc. Or is the DVD incapable of being read with the ffmpeg library, and if so, why? > >If yours is missing maybe it's time to upgrade.

I appear to have that particular one. I haven't tried to compile it, let alone run it. The above quote says that it is included in releases, but not CVS snapshots. > So what do we do next ? Check those parameters for conflicts. Load the latest CVS. If we're going to report a bug then you need to do it at some point, and it just might clear up one problem or the other. If not then we'll have to dive back into gdb and have a proper look around, check the values of the variables, and so forth. -- Richard Urwin
