VLC Plays Only Audio

I installed VLC Media Player 0.8.6i through Acer Support website on my Linpus Linux Lite netbook, but when I try to play any *.avi file, there is no video! Only audio! Maybe I can update it or something to make it work...

 

I'm having the excact same problem on my Aspire One Linux, i installed VLC via Macles, but i'm getting only sound. I've tried some AVI-files and ASF-files.

Please help!

 

Hi,


Did you update fedora, if not I would defiantly do this.

 

Had exactly the same problem, the one from Acer is stripped of codecs....

Go here

and within minutes you will have a shiny new VLC 0.9 that works as the people intended.

Hope this helps.

 

Well I had the same problem and ended up restoring my AAO. Sure sounds like a pain but if you do it all over again, it should work out.
