[xine-user] *.avi file, not being played (by any programme)

[Peter K. <pwk...@gm...>]

Hey,

I got a avi-file, that neither xine nor mplayer nor aviplay can play ! Ma=
ybe=20
you can help me ?
This is what "file" reports:
RIFF (little-endian) data
This is what xine reports:

xine_play: xine open filename.avi, start pos =3D 0, start time =3D 0 (sec=
)
xine: using input plugin >file< for this MRL (filename.avi).
Benutze Plugin 'file' f=FCr MRL 'filename.avi'
demux_avi: AVI_init failed (AVI_errno: 9)
xine: Kann keinen Demultiplexer f=FCr >filename.avi< finden.

since I heard you guys talking stuff about riff headers and some checks b=
eing=20
done, I tried this on todays cvs also, same result.

Thanks in advance
Peter

PS: I have my reasons to believe that most windoze users seem to be able =
to=20
play this file....
