Video problems with VLC
I have a problem playing AVI divx files with VLC. Yesterday upon start VLC showed an error message complaining about divx codecs and refused to proceed. Today the player starts but the video is squished horizontally (it occupies roughly 1/4th of the VLC window which is for the other part black). I'm on an updated testing system, and before yesterday VLC was playing fine. In the meantime - after a recent dist-upgrade - I cannot run X with proprietary ATI drivers anymore, I have to use the FOSS radeonhd ones instead. I don't know if that's related but I thought it could be worth mentioning (and by the way if anyone has suggestions about this problem too, that'd be very much appreciated). How can I fix VLC's problem? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Apart from that, I dont have a clue, I think the problem was libavcodec52 or libavformat52 as one of them was upgraded about the same time vlc broke for me.

Re: Video problems with VLC
I found this bug report[1] but I'm not sure on how to proceed in order to apply that solution. I can remove vlc with no problems, but if I try removing libavutil50 I have a chain of dependencies complaining: Remove the following packages: 1) ffmpeg 2) gnome 3) gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 4) libavcodec52 5) libavdevice52 6) libavfilter1 7) libavformat52 8) libpostproc51 9) libswscale0 10) libxine1-ffmpeg 11) libxine1-plugins now, removing all gnome seems a bit overkill as a solution.
