VLC produces corrupted images when taking a snapshot in PNG format
VLC "Take Snapshot" is broken and always produces a corrupted file when PNG output is selected, thus the file can't be opened in any program.
After I take a snapshot and I hexdump the file, this is what I see:
[diego@myhost ~]$ hexdump vlcsnap-2013-04-30-17h42m51s189.png
0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
*
02a30c0 0000 0000 0000 0000
02a30c8
[diego@myhost ~]$
Steps to reproduce:
Just open a movie and take a snapshot, then the resulting PNG file will be corrupted. I heard that in JPG mode works fine, but PNG is the default.
