I've installed vlc 1.1.3 according to the instructions at
www.videolan.org/vlc/download-debian.html for unstable.
Now the problem is that all videos play black and white and the picture
is crammed to a quarter of the window to the left. I've tried all the
different settings but to no avail.
Another problem is that when I mount a partition on another machine and
try to play a video from there I always get a "Unable to open MRL" error.
What is going on?

Black/White & jolted video
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=67743&p=225152
And maybe also:
Important notice for Debian/Ubuntu users
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=70719
I wonder why VideoLAN does not provide Debian packages directly.

That is because of libswscale and the one in Debian multimedia repository has problem.

Ok, that solved the video issue. Now only the MRL issue remains.

How are you opening the file, what kind of file is it and what error
message are you getting?

The files are .avi and .mp4 - both are on my desktop computer which is
mounted through gnome "connect to server" with sftp.
I launch the files through nautilus by double-clicking on the icons.
A screenshot of the error message is attached.

Hmm... does VLC support "sftp://" protocol? :-?
I ask because in lenny I can't even open a PDF on my samba networked
share using Nautilus (smb://). It says: "operation not permitted".
But I suppose you can open the files fine when they are located in your
local hard disk, right?

So follow their wise advice and "check for the log for details" :-)
Also, try opening those remote files using VLC "File → open" dialog menu.

Did you remove ALL the packages from debian multi-media. VLC can't
coexist with them.

I did as instructed at
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=70719 and apt-get remove
libavutil*
Is there a simple way of checking if there are any packages remaining
from debian-multimedia?
