Can you try it with the "-e vlc" option? Also, please try that movie in the xine UI, does it do the same thing?

The "-e vlc" option works great; files play as they should without any noticeable problems. And the video seems to work fine in xine UI although I've never used it before.

Also, the video seems to work fine without the "-e vlc" option when I have libxine1-ffmpeg installed from the repos.

Ahhh, Bilal, this one raises a question, doesn't it? The libxine1-ffmpeg package contains plugins for playing MPEG files with xine-lib. If xine-lib is the default engine (still not 100% sold on it) then we should at least "suggest" libxine1-ffmpeg, right? I read somewhere that lucid will install suggested packages by default, which I think is a good idea.

Alternatively, we could make an FAQ for this question so when it gets asked again we can just point people at it.

What do you think? It's your call if you want it.

Ok, ok then. Well, I didnt know that Lucid would install suggested packages by default. In any case, I would set libxine1-ffmpeg to the Recommends section. It is a small package, and recommends packages are installed by default from Intrepid onwards.

I have added the libxine1-ffmpeg package in the Recommends and pushed the package to the ppa build farm. Yes, please do make a FAQ about it.
