[MPlayer-advusers] Bug with Matroska format and Real Video 9/10 codec

[Jean-Noël Rivasseau]

Hello.

I am using Mac OS X 10.4, the latest binary from the separate  
mplayerosx sourceforge project (dated May  20). I have installed the  
latest codecs from Real by downloading their nightly build.

I can't play a Matroska file containing a video track encoded with  
RV40. It crashes everytime. I have tried MANY samples from the  
mplayer site, all Real videos work fine when they are in .avi, but  
the ones in .mkv always make mplayer crash.

I have even extracted the video track using mkvextract, and once  
extracted, mplayer plays it without problems, so the bug is clearly  
related to how Mplayer handles .mkv files.

Other .mkv files using codecs such as DivX / XVid work fine though...

Any help on that?

What can I do to help more? (I am going to download and build the CVS  
version of Mplayer soon, but I think it's a bit of work to build it  
under OS X...)
