error codes "cook", "RV40"

[sprig]

first time with vlc
can someone tell me what this means and what to do about it?

main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `cook'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

It means the video has been encoded with RealVideo Codecs and VLC is not able to read those proprietary codec. Sorry
