I have a problem playing AVI divx files with VLC.  Yesterday upon start

How can I fix VLC's problem?

Thanks.
Hey,

Do you use the debian multimedia repo?

Because I had the same problem with VLC myself yesterday, the only
thing I could do to fix it was to disable the dm repo, purge vlc, and
reinstall from just debian main.

Regards,

Angus.

Thanks for the idea. I followed your suggestions and purged the DM version of VLC, commented out the DM repo in sources.list and reinstalled from the main Debian repo.

Now VLC is back to its reliable working ways again.

Cheers

AG
