Problem playing .avi (xvid) files on SuSE 10.1

[Raziel616]

Hi.

I am running SuSE 10.1 with KDE 3.5.

I downloaded VLC 0.8.6 (wxWidgets interface) about a week ago, everything seemed to work fine, as far as I remember, it played .avi files with no problem. However, since yesterday, I haven't been able to play .avi files wth VLC... I only get the audio, and I also get a message saying:

main error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `XVID'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

However, I DO have xvid-1.1.2-2.pm installed, as well as libffmpeg.

Note that the files play perfectly on Kaffeine.

I've searched the forum and found other people having the same issue, however, none of them seemed to find a solution.

Any help on how to solve this is greatly appreciated.

rm -rf ~/.vlc/

rm -rf ~/.vlc/

Ehm, I tried that, but it still didn't work

Oh, I also ran vlc -vvv, here's what I got...
