Ubuntu VLC problems. Using Wine + VLC instead.

Hi,

I have been attempting to get mvpmc to display mpeg4 videos stored on a computer, by transcoding them using VLC.

The computer is running Ubuntu 8.10 and I have been having a lot of trouble with the packaged version of VLC. A bit of searching suggested to me that a lot of people were having problems with this version of VLC. Most files just wouldn’t play, quite often causing mvpmc to crash, when they do they are using a huge amount of system resources on the transcoding computer.

After many hours of frustration I tried running the windows version of VLC [0.9.9] on my Ubuntu system using Wine. It was by far the best performance I had managed. So far I have done no configuration of Wine to improve the performance [I'm completely new to Wine] and it is usable.

I thought I would share this in case it was useful to someone else. If anyone with more experience with Wine could help me configure it I would be very appreciative.

Regards,
Bill
