I need ffmpeg and I like vlc. What can I use instead of vlc to play mp4 and mov?
I'm using totem player now. Gnome player does not work.

azzerare ~ # emerge vlc

Read the blocker output more carefully; always consider _what_ is blocking _what_ and what alternatives you have, I'll be trying to get Portage to output this so it doesn't have to go manually.

Left hand side: ffmpeg versions lower than 1.2 cannot be used; so, you need to upgrade ffmpeg to at least 1.2.
Right hand side: vlc version 2.1.0 has this restriction; so, others might not and if you cannot upgrade ffmpeg then consider to downgrade vlc.

Left hand side: ffmpeg versions in SLOT 0 cannot be used; so, you need to use a different slot of ffmpeg or use libav instead (a recent enough version).
Right hand side: libpostproc has this restriction in every version; so, you could consider if you actually need the libpostproc pcakage at all.

Left hand side: Do you need libpostproc?
Right hand side: ffmpeg has this restriction in every version.

So, it seems you will want to upgrade media-video/ffmpeg to at least 1.2 and remove media-libs/libpostproc as media-video/ffmpeg attempts to cover that.
