Are the two Debian boxes "the same"?  I.e., both up-to-date

Hardwarewise, they are different in many ways.  For their OS builds,
they are both running kernel 2.6.32-3-686.

That's not really what I asked.

                                           I have no idea any more
what the various libraries are that they have installed.


COLUMNS=160 dpkg -l | cut -c5-39 | grep ^lib

But, I am quite convinced that the problem is with the format these
files are using, as I get the same problem when trying to view them
with the Nintendo Wii on the Internet Channel (video but high pitched
garbled sound, yet other peoples' videos run fine).  And I also
recently received a complaint from an uncle on FaceBook that the
videos aren't playing right for him either.  Same symptoms.  And I
highly doubt that he would be running anything other than Windows.


It's all about the libraries...

Do you have http://www.debian-multimedia.org in your sources.list?

Do you have libfaad2 installed on the static-playing machine?

$ COLUMNS=160 dpkg -l | cut -c5-39 | grep ^lib | grep faad
libfaad2

$ apt-cache policy libfaad2
libfaad2:
  Installed: 2.7-4
  Candidate: 2.7-4
  Version table:
 *** 2.7-4 0
        500 http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ sid/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


Now I am thinking I should have picked up that rubber chicken I saw at
Goodwill a couple days ago to wave it over the systems and do a little
ancient chant.  :/
