I use VLC as my default player ....... but hit an issue where it won't play avi files properly .. these are compressed with lossless Lagarith codec.
The mediainfo on the files shows:
Format : AVI
Format/Info : Audio Video Interleave
Format profile : OpenDML
File size : 6.77 GiB

Overall bit rate : 54.8 Mbps

Color space : YUV
Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0

Anything special I need to add/configure to get these to play.
