The VideoLAN Forums

Hallo!I have installed suse 10.1 i586 in my computer.Also,I have tried to install vlc-0.8.6c i586 rpm on my linux.Unfortunately,the vlc is only able to play the audio of an avi movie file:it cannot show the video images.Please assist me by telling me the appropriate software that I can install to rectify this situation,where I can download it and its dependencies.Thanks in advance.

WEll, you found the right program VLC is for you.

Can you give some more informations about that AVI File? As you might know, AVI is only a container and it can contain a wide range of real formats.
You can get some information inside VLC in the Codec Information screen. It might be an issue with the file.
