Talk:VLC HowTo/Transcode from Flash Video format

Do you also have problems when using a nightly build ? Dionoea 09:40, 18 October 2006 (CEST)

Yes, perhaps I should explain this page. I made it as I was sent a link here to this .flv file (youtube). The seekbar stays at the end, and it stops playing half way through.

I think it could be to do with seeking. Seeking at all makes it go wrong, and there are "access_file access error: seeking too far" errors when it fails. The duration is tagged as "ffmpeg demuxer debug: - duration = -1"

Also, the following works: " cat Desktop/-uLxKzqpSSA.flv | vlc - "

I'm using the Debian Unstable version (svn-20061012). FLV support works almost all the time for me, but sometimes on youtube you get the odd one which doesn't quite work. --h2g2bob 03:26, 19 October 2006 (CEST)
