Comment 49 for bug 85751

Warning: this this is a little off-topic!

I also found that -vc ffsvq3 is broken (the default at ubuntu 7.04), failing
to play this video:

http://flyleafonline.com/media/video/SoSickHQ.zip

giving only a blue screen (but not of death ;-) ).

I could play the video with -vc qtsvq3 (I believe using win32 dlls). May be
it is worth disabling this codec also, since it is all broken at all, and
win32 dlls are not installed at Ubuntu (fromfactory) afaik.

I posted this here, due to the solution be the same as distorded MP3 sound
(fixing codecs.conf file).

Hope this helps more users.

Bye.
