Bug Description

Binary package hint: vlc

When I watch DVD-Movies, VLC would immediately quit when I try to resize the window or switch to fullscreen mode. (E.g. "Batman Begins", original DVD)

I tried to make a gdb report, but VLC would not crash if I call it via console. (Whether with or without gdb)

I'll attach the gdb log as well as the console output when I just executed "vlc" in console

Before quitting vlc, I resized the movie window several times to full-screen and window-screen. I guess these errors where risen by doing this:

QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 1
[????????] x11 video output error: X11 request 42.0 failed with error code 8:

Sorry for the flooding.

This is a gdb-log with vlc crashing as soon as I switched to full-screen

As there seemed to be a "segmentation fault", I tried to get a valgrind.

This time vlc didn't crash when switching to full screen, but only showed a black screen. This has happened before, so I don't think it's because of the valgrind.

What version is this? What is the video resolution? Can you provide the output of xvinfo?

As You can tell from the gdb logs, the Version is "VLC media player 1.0.2 Goldeneye" :-)

Concerning the video resolution, see attachment, seems to be "720x576"

The resolution above was the resolution of "Batman - Begins" main menu.

There has been a bunch of fixes to fullscreen toggling in VLC 1.0.3 and 1.0.4. This should be fixed in Lucid.
