It may no even be Vlc, Vlc relies on a bunch of libraries.<br>
Installing those libraries from source looks to me like a great way to get your system hosed.<br>
YMMV...<br>

Well when I run home videos the video portion of the film can't keep up<br>
with the audio. Likely the cpu is to blame but on another discussion board<br>
one guys solution was to run 1.1.10 . I am just grasping at straws here! <br>

Mike, BLFS will give you a laundry list of all you need to have installed<br>
to get VLC compiled.<br>
I certainly admire and encourage your ambition, but this may be a little<br>
bit above your head (it is almost above mine).<br>
Why do you want to compile VLC anyway?<br>
What's wrong with your distro's package?<br>

okay... it was late a late night when I wrote that last message but I am<br>
up<br>
now fresh (sorta).<br>
WHen I run ./configure the last line it spits out is:<br>
configure: error: Couldn't find DBus >= 1.0.0, install libdbus-dev ?<br>
Am I to assume that I need to compile libdbus-dev?<br>

Well, someone told me that they run vlc 1.1.10 and that everything<br>
runs<br>
perfectly where they had later versions that did not run as well. As<br>
such<br>
