Bug#710754: vlc: VLC doesn't play MOV file

[Linda R]

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I'm sorry that I know almost nothing about this.

Do you mean that VLC itself is a third party package?

Or could the Debian code detect the source and version number of the third party package subroutines it calls, and warn the user of incompatibility?

Which packages have the bug and who is the third party?

Thank you.

Linda
