Thanks for the app! I'll try to build VLC >0.9 from sources this afternoon, for Debian, and will tell you if it works. And I hope the ffmpeg version stored in debian-multimedia is up-to-date enough to use it

Keep this good work going!

EDIT: I said this using Debian stable. Although I rebuilt VLC, I didn't get Knots working. The ffmpeg version in stable wasn't good enough, nor was the Debian Multimedia one.
After that, I moved to Ubuntu, thinking that it would work: I talked about that here. It worked, but some performance issues related to Ubuntu's support of my hardware made me change back to Debian.
So I ended up in Debian, again, which I talk about here. Now I have it working on Debian Testing
