When I start a video then VLC is launched and the slider is walking from left to right but no video is visible.
The video has the following specs (shown from GSpot):

The Classic (not MS) Mediaplyer for example CAN play the video
So whats wrong?
What is the diff between the FourCC code DX50 and DIVX ?

Sounds like the index might be kinda funky
Please post a sample of this video.

Ok, I could upload a small sample snippet.
But is there a way to upload say 1 MB to this forum?
I found no "attach" option when posting

1 MB is a bit short maybe, 5 MB would be better.
You can't attach files to posts on this forum, so use one of the free file hosting sites like Zshare or Mediafire or Megaupload etc...

Hmm whenever I split the video the resulting chunks are playable in VLC. So splitted chunk do not serve as sample.
What I detected is that the not playable original full movie has the following container spec:
Multipart OpenDML AVI (2 parts)
while the splitted chunks have just (according to GSpot info tool):
OpenDML (AVI v2.0)
This leads to the conclusion that VLC can not handle either "Multipart" AVIs or AVIs with non v2.0 spec
Can you confirm this?
