You can't judge a SW from one problem. From the beginning, code was taken from vlc, and from what I understood at this time, vlc devs were mad because there was no reference to they're work (except at the terms of GPL: copyleft retained in source code); there was also rants from player when code was flaky which did help to pace minds. Vlc (AFA the original way was preserved) is also strict on RFCs and standards (which are usually badly respected, even by their creators). From what I saw, vlc is also faster to troubleshoot. About MTS trouble, vlc doesn't claim to support it: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.php?cat=video a common troubleshooter is to convert it to AVI (or MOV, or whatever container supported by vlc) with avidemux (use 'copy', don't transcode). -- titix: seriously, I still don't understand. titix: you want to be a physician, right titix: but a coroner… I'm out of words. titix: this is a disgusting occupation, and you're going to autopsy poor guys that had terrible accidents reduced to slop… So why? momo: patients won't piss me off titix: …you scored a goal.
