It is somehow libxine1's fault!!! On my up-to-date SID machine with
w32codecs installed, I just need to downgrade from 1.1.7-1 to
libxine1_1.1.2+dfsg-4 and I can watch all those movies without any
problems. Please also have a look at this thread [0] and the solution
(Sorry, in German. But you, Reinhard, should understand it :-) )

Anyway, do you want me compile it the Debian way as there is a debian
folder in the svn or go the traditional way?
