VLC does not support the audio or video format "XVID"

[BostonDriver]

Hi,

I just installed vlc ( vlc-1.0.0,3 ) built from ports on FreeBSD 7.2-Stable.

When trying to test I get a window popping up saying:

No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "XVID". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

Is there something I need to install to get xvid to work? I'm almost positive that this very .avi file worked just fine with the prior version of vlc (but need to double check.)

Here is related output that shows up on the shell which started vlc.

[0x2b689440] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `XVID'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
[0x2b689440] a52 decoder: A/52 channels:2 samplerate:48000 bitrate:256000
No accelerated IMDCT transform found

Thanks.

You are missing avcodec module of vlc.

You are missing avcodec module of vlc.

I built vlc from ports. Is there something I need to set before doing ''make install", or is there another port I need to add outside of vlc?

Thanks

I had a similar "bug" with Gentoo.
Well, it might as well have nothing to do with VLC at all...
If you compiled a new version of ffmpeg, try recompiling that to different one (preferably the one you had before).
No need to recompile VLC in this case.

You might not have the exact same problem, but it's worth a shot!
