AVI files

[Lenore]

Hey...
I usually use VLC to play my AVI files, and it works fine, but I have some AVI files I created using a video capture program called CamStudio and although they play fine in other players they dont work in VLC. They seem to load okay but all I get is a black screen the whole way through.
Can anyone help?
Id really like to get them working in VLC so I can use the wallpaper feature.
Thanks,

What codecs do these files use ? (see the "stream and media info" dialog in VLC to find out)

yeah, i have the same problem playing virtually any avi file in vlc, it simply shows an all black background until you exit out of the movie.

If all videos in varying containers have this issue you should consider updating your video drivers.
