The following compression codecs and containers created videos that would play normally for 1 to 2 seconds, then the video image would break up and deteriorate into large grey pixelated squares, followed by the eventual crashing of VLC Media Player after a couple of seconds:
WMV + WMA (ASF)
DIV3 + MP3 (ASF)
ANY USE OF THE DIVX 2 OR DIVX 3 VIDEO CODEC THAT IS INCLUDED WITH VLC MEDIA PLAYER
------
The following compression codecs and containers would simply not successfully encode, compress or convert the original video:
DIRAC + AAC (TS)
ANY USE OF THE DIVX 1 VIDEO CODEC THAT IS INCLUDED WITH VLC MEDIA PLAYER
