Package: vlc
Version: 0.8.6.e-2.3+lenny1 

I discovered this problem with a patched version of kaffine-mozilla
and the movies available from <URL:http://www.filmarkivet.no/open/>.
Kaffine is unable to play the movies.  After using kaffine-mozilla to
locate the movie URL, I tested it in vlc too.  It fail. :(

To replicate the issue, call vlc like this:

  vlc 'rtsp://qtsrv1.ella.no/filmarkivet/movie/p_40648.mp4'

It print this message and play only the sound:

  VLC media player 0.8.6e Janus
  [00000295] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `h264'.
  VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
  [00000273] main playlist: stopping playback

Please get this video working with vlc.

Happy hacking,
