There are techniques for what to do if you cannot play a particular
file:

ffmpeg -i moviefile.avi
tcprobe -i moviefile.avi
mplayer -identify moviefile.avi

gspot - a windows program is damned good too.

All will give you a variety of info on the file. including details of
the codecs. This can give you a hint as to what you need to install to
get it going.
