Hi, what is the video driver in use (i.e. nvidia, fglrx, radeon, nouveau, intel) ? Did you try to launch vlc from the command line with "-v" option: vlc -v /path/to/video to see if it prints any error ? I had a freeze yesterday while using vlc, but it turned out to be a more general video driver bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
