But VLC only displays a green screen when I play it. Any ideas? Is there a decoder that I need to get? MPlayer plays the video just fine and on Windows VLC has no problem with huffyuv.


----- EDIT -----

I've figured out that this is a problem with the builds of libav in the debian-multimedia repository. I'm in the process of working it out now.


----- SOLVED -----

I removed vlc and ffmpeg and created a file called /etc/apt/preferences and placed in it:

Code:

---

Package: *
Pin: origin ftp.debian-multimedia.org
Pin-Priority: 1

---

I cleared the apt cache and updated, then reinstalled vlc and ffmpeg. All seems well.
