I have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed which includes gstreamer0.10 -plugins-bad. I am running the 64 bit OS and I have no problems with avi's at all. Does Brett Alton have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed? The other main package for avis is from w32codecs (or w64codecs) in the medibuntu repository. Those are the first 2 packages I install on new builds.
