The file is saved in a multimedia container format that stores audio and video using a variety of codecs, like DivX and XviD.Īn AVI file uses less compression to store files and takes up more space than many other video formats-like MPEG and MOV. AVI files also can be created without the use of compression at all.

I am having the same problem on a Dell Optiplex 170L.

This happens about 1 second after the sound begins to play.Īgain the behaviour is very similar for all players for both MPEG and WMV clips. Initially on file open, a large panel opens as tho the movie were going to play then it spontaneously reduces to the size it would be if the file were a sound-only file. Now the sound only plays but there is no video. Gnome Mplayer, SMPlayer, Enqueue in SMPlayerĮxperimenting we uninstalled then re-installed Mplayer on one device The same (very similar behaviour) was observed with other media players: 5 using Desktop edition and 1 with Server edition.Īll are standard 32bit pentium 2 machines This happened on all devices in this office. The behaviour was consistent and reproducible. Mplayer would briefly open and then close spontaneously after about 1 second. mpg ) played without problem using Mplayer in Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10Īfter upgrade to 9.04 no movie clips played.
