I have exactly the same problem on and x86 machine.

[Bruce Cowan (bruce89-deactivatedaccount)]

Same here, but in Totem is fine.

[Jai Singh (i922sparkcir)]

Same problem, within x86 though. I have seen reports that this problem is no longer present in the vlc-ubuntu nightly build.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Will rebuild when newer x264 is built.

[John Dong (jdong)]

I can confirm same bug, i386 and amd64.
