That's strange -  what OS are seeing on? I'm running it ok on Ubuntu 8.04 32
bit. I just committed some new changes for the latest IOCOM compatibility -
and now have it decoding 960x720 H264 displaying on Ubuntu using Xvideo -
tested ok on Linux and OSX and Vista.

I have seen that black window problem before - usually it was fixed by doing
a make clean and then rebuilding.
