Description Paul Menzel 2010-08-04 09:40:34 UTC 
Trying to play [1] results in the following error message when trying to play it using GNOME. Using Xine works although the video has lots of errors.

    ** Message: Error: Internal GStreamer error: negotiation problem.  Please file a bug at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer.

    could not find caps for codec (h264), unknown type

I am using the packages from Debian Sid/unstable [2].

This looks like a packaging bug that should be reported in the debian bug tracker.

It works fine for me with the internal ffmpeg snapshot in git (well, the decoder part anyway).

However, there's currently a buffering issue in git when doing

 gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=http://abstrakraft.org/Burden1.mov

but that's a differenet issue.

Works here with the Debian packages... which version of libavcodec52 do you have installed?

Sorry, I am using the packages from <http://www.debian-multimedia.org> providing ffmpeg 0.6 instead of 0.5.2. :(
