how can i play a file in windows?

[sunny_wang]

the file is a avi file,it codec is divx.
i downdload vlc0.8.0 source code.
I want to use command line to debug vlc.

Easiest thing is to download the current 081 release, for Windows, and just play it.

... you can also use the binary version to debug VLC, view debug-logs and use the command-line.

but i don't know comman line parame.

i use command line : vlc --long help -advanced,
