Cant open somehow secured video files.

[Jānis Kangarooo]

Binary package hint: vlc

Universal Logo showing for 21 seconds from start of the movie
while also showing text
Codec error: Use Windows Media Player
& in middle changin to text
Aborting Video, Redirecting to Microsoft Codec Download Page

This happens in VLC Default xubuntu player ithink its Totem but there are many totems so may xine-totem and also Mplayer

I had problem with wma sound files getting to work but they work in Mplayer.
Maybe for this video problem also a solution would be just different player?

Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10

Xubuntu

We need a sample file otherwise we cannot diagnose the problem.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. My apologies as I should not have marked this Invalid. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Maverick Meerkat. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
