Hi
Many thanks to everyone who suggested solutions to this problem. To
some extent all the proposals came together to resolve theissue.
On the basis of the consensus that I had probably screwed up or
deleted a codec, I decided to take a chance and try to refresh the
codec set by adding the deb-multimedia.org repository (wheezy main
non-free) and performing an update. This had the effect of upgrading,
amongst other things, VLC, Mplayer, OpenShot and a number of
X264-related objects. This action has cured the problem.
Although I have not been able to clearly identify the absolute cause
of the problem, perhaps this is an approach which could be adopted by
anybody else experiencing "missing codec" or "unknown format" problems.
I wish all forums were as friendly and helpful as this one....
Regards
Nige
Nice to read it's ok for you Nigel ! (and thanks for the comments on
Ponit Linux))
I can confirm that, for multimedia up-to-date packages, deb-multimedia
is the good choice, since years...
