Thanks for taking your time to report this bug. You have reported a crash in the xine-lib library. In order to be able to actually fix this bug, we must be able to

  * reproduce it
  * check if it happens with the latest version
  * understand where it actually crashes

You can help with the first point by attaching an example file to this bug report. Please note that a proper attachment is preferred over a link to some remote site. Remote side that are password protected or otherwise restriced (like services like rapidshare.com and similar) are absolutely not acceptable.

For the 2nd point, the MOTUMedia team provide updated packages for xine-lib and ffmpeg in their PPA for past ubuntu releases. See http://launchpad.net/~motumedia/+archive for instructions how to enable that archive. Please add this repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list, update your system and make sure, that you have both packages 'ffmpeg-dbg' and 'libxine1-dbg' installed (use 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install libxine1-dbg ffmpeg-dbg'). This way, you can produce meaningful backtraces that help us with point 3. You can read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace about how to create proper backtraces that help developers identifying the exact location of the crash.

Thank you for your cooperation.

After more than a year, I'm no longer using feisty, and I don't have the
files who caused the crash. Even when i had them, the content of those
videos had copyright, so I couldn't share them. Sorry.

I think that, given the time passed since the bug report, you may want to
close it until somebody can reproduce it.
