Vlc and Mplayer doesn't read all files video files, but Totem does.

Well, this is an audio codec that VLC 0.9 doesn't support yet. You have to use 1.0 to fix this.

Hi Bartosz,

This appears to be fixed in upstream VLC, can you try with 1.0 when you get a chance and report back?

I have tested this under VLC 0.9.8a under Windows and this video doesn't working.

Where I can get the 1.0 version to check it?

Is there any instruction how to build VLC source ?

@Jorge. Could You try by ownself is this videos is working?

video_don't_work

in mplayer video
video_works
