Kaffeine / VLC won't play my m4v files. I've got only two, ripped from my own DVDs. I could play them fine in Lucid. I don't know what I'm missing; I've installed kubuntu-restricted-extras and just about everything from medibuntu. Other videos work fine including videos encoded with xvid, x264, ffmpeg.
1)
Kaffeine:
"cannot find demux plugin for MRL (blah blah, file path here)"
VLC:
$ vlc Serenity.m4v
VLC media player 1.0.6 Goldeneye
[0x8549318] mp4 demux error: MP4 plugin discarded (no moov box)
[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x857dea0]moov atom not found
[0x8549318] avformat demux error: av_open_input_stream failed
The VLC GUI appears, but no video/audio playback.
2)
Kaffeine:
crash dialogue with "floating point exception".
VLC:
Video plays correctly in VLC:
$ vlc Dead\ Man.m4v

Also, and I have no idea if this is related, the Handbrake DVD ripper doesn't work in Karmic. It appears to read the DVD source /dev/sr0 correctly, but it will only ever let me choose one DVD title, with no audio tracks, no subtitles, and no way to actually start encoding!
Edit: I'm willing to consider it possible that video file #1 is corrupt, and concentrate on #2
