VLC sid upgrade loses color, has wrong aspect ratio
Hi Everyone,
I'm using the VLC packages for sid/i386 from debian-multimedia.org.
After upgrading VLC, ffmpeg and their dependencies,
I find that videos that VLC previously displayed normally
on the default settings display with the width excesssively
compressed.
The picture width is still too narrow even when I choose
a manual setting 2.21:1 aspect ratio.
I've tested only a couple different video formats,
identified by the 'file' utility as:
ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, version 2
MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex
A second issue is that videos that previously displayed in
color now display as monochrome only.
I just upgraded mplayer, and it plays both formats just fine.
Has anyone encountered these issues, or is aware of any
configuration choices that might help me?
VLC has a number of dependencies. Can anyone guess which
package(s) I should investigate to locate if my bug has been
filed?
For reference, I include mplayer's text output for both
file types below.
thanks in advance,
Joel
