All AVI files gives : no suitable decoder module for fourcc

[plume]

Dear reader,

When trying to play an avi file, I can get the audio but not the video, whatever the encoding is (DIV3, DIVX, wma2, DX50, XVID, ...).

Note:

• with other players (mplayer, xmms), I can play these files without any troubles.
  with vlc, I can play non-AVI files, like MPEG1/2 files.

Version:

Code: Select all

evo(~) [106] > vlc --version VLC media player snapshot-20051027 Janus VLC version snapshot-20051027 Janus Compiled by root. Compiler: gcc version 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728

Here is the error messages for a couple of files:

Thanks you for any help you can provide me with.

Can you play any files with those encodings (DIV3, DIVX, etc...) in a different container (like MOV) or as an elementary stream? MPEG1/2 just proves that your MPEG1/2 codecs are installed properly; if you can play using a different container or as elementary streams, the problem would seem to be in your AVI demuxer. Otherwise the problem is that you lack those codecs. If that's the case, I'd suggest checking your VLC plugins folder. I had similar error messages before which were due to the proper plugins not getting included in the installer (which I was custom building). Of course, YMMV.

Hope that helps.

Have you compiled VLC yourself ?
Is it compiled with ffmpeg ?

Code: Select all

vlc --list |grep ffmpeg

without ffmpeg VLC is not very useful

How do i do that? i also have these problems. i grabed my vlc from linuxpackages.net since i run slackware. i must compile vlc from source? how to compile with all these codecs?

You need ffmpeg to read a lot of format as ffmpeg devs have done a great job.
So if the maintaner of your distro didn't include ffmpeg it's a bit silly.

So you need to find better packages or compile yourself

Yes... that's why i asked how to compile them...

Heres a guide to posix enviroment compiling:
http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/nix-compile.html

Download the source, run the configure script with appropriate options than "make".
Here is their long nasty example. You could model after this:

./configure --enable-x11 --enable-xvideo --disable-gtk --enable-sdl --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi --enable-a52 --enable-dts --enable-libmpeg2 --enable-dvdnav --enable-faad --enable-vorbis --enable-ogg --enable-theora --enable-faac --enable-mkv --enable-freetype --enable-fribidi --enable-speex --enable-flac --enable-livedotcom --with-livedotcom-tree=/usr/lib/live --enable-caca --enable-skins --enable-skins2 --enable-alsa --disable-kde --disable-qt --enable-wxwindows --enable-ncurses --enable-release

if you have specific trouble with this, post your errors.

edit: oh god damn.. I didnt look at the year on that last post, sorry for the bump, but this was a high traffic link on google for
