Dan, I do suspect there is something else going on here. I have a video which plays reasonably well on melt on my Archlinux system while displays only garbage in Ubuntu 10.04. That's why I reported the issue here on Ubuntu issue tracker.
Do you remember file 2010-03-25-105206.ogv we both were able to play? That's the file from http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2972137&group_id=96039&atid=613414 Well, that file on melt on Archlinux plays well while on a brand new Ubuntu 10.04 install shows this: http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=PqpQvGi ** Bug watch added: SourceForge.net Tracker #2972137 http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=2972137 -- melt displays and renders garbage while playing .ogv in ubuntu 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574457 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
