Created attachment 504298 [details] Video file fragment Description of problem: Viewing certain videos in vlc will lock up the computer. This is a very serious problem which I hope will not be ignored due to the fact that I am using an rpmfusion build of vlc. Also, it would be nice if the desktop had a pre-emptive key stroke combination like ctrl-alt-del or power button click or something so that a computer lock up could be preempted and the process killed in the event another process does this in the future. I included a video fragment which locks up my computer every time I play it. I hope this is taken pretty seriously. I have noticed in Fedora 14 this happening more often. By the way, the other video players like mplayer will play the file without locking up the system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vlc-1.1.9-1.fc14.i686, xvidcore-1.2.2-2.fc14.i686, kernel-2.6.35.13-92.fc14.i686 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. load included video fragment 2. do not fix video when it asks to 3. massive processor load increase and then system locks up. Actual results: System will be unusable without reboot Expected results: Video plays without error or excessive process load. Additional info:
VLC is not available in fedora due to patent issues, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ForbiddenItems You probably got it from a 3rd party repository, eg. rpmfusion. Please report this bug to rpmfusion in their bug tracker at http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org or to VLC upstream.
