Since my upgrade to lenny, my VLC is not working anymore. When I play XVID video files, I can just have sound played but not the video. Error message is :
[00000312] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `XVID'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
When I run this command I got a warning on ffmpeg:
vlc -vvv --color --no-plugins-cache --list ... [00000001] main private warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib/vlc/codec/libffmpeg_plugin.so' (/usr/lib/vlc/codec/libffmpeg_plugin.so: undefined symbol: img_resample) ...
To fix the problem I had to downgrade to debian lenny versions of ffmpeg libavcodec51 libavdevice52 libavformat52 libavutil49 libpostproc51 and libswscale0 :
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ffmpeg=0.svn20080206-8 libavcodec51=0.svn20080206-8 \ libavdevice52=0.svn20080206-8 libavformat52=0.svn20080206-8 libavutil49=0.svn20080206-8 \ libpostproc51=0.svn20080206-8 libswscale0=0.svn20080206-8
Then I had to remove my ~/.vlc directory content:
rm -rf ~/.vlc
Then I was able to watch again my XVID videos!
The bad news is that I'm not able anymore to use 'transcode' from debian-multimedia while the problem is not fixed.

Very useful, thank you.
It's works!!! great info
wonderfull! incredible! works tanks
thanks guy :)
This is not the real solution if you intent to use debian-multimedia. You must install a vlc version 0.9
see the debian-multimedia.org homepage for explanations.

hello, exactly the same here , i didn't find the docs at debian-multimedia, could you be mor specific . thanks for your time , solution would be the last missing point in a nice remaster of debian-live. yoshi

apt-cache policy $packageshows the current version. So in late november 2009 you have to use:apt-get install –reinstall ffmpeg=0.svn20080206-18 libavcodec51=0.svn20080206-18 libavdevice52=0.svn20080206-18 libavformat52=0.svn20080206-18 libavutil49=0.svn20080206-18 libpostproc51=0.svn20080206-18 libswscale0=0.svn20080206-18/thorsten
<3 u! finally works!
Jeehaa, found this blog and saw hope… But it wont work for me… Have done everything in here and it seems that that …0.svn20080206-18 is still the newest candidate. I still get the following error:
[00000372] ffmpeg encoder error: cannot find encoder MPEG-2 Video [00000298] stream_out_transcode private error: cannot find encoder 1) [00000298] stream_out_transcode private error: cannot create video chain [00000318] main packetizer error: cannot create packetizer output (mp4v)Any Ideas ? Thx in advance…Resuelto y perfecto. Muy agradecido por el post. Como aclaracion, lo único que he tenido que cambiar han sido las versiones .svn de -8 a -18 que son las que hay actualmente, (14-02-2010) y todo ha vuelto a funcionar. Muchas Gracias.
Thank you so much!!! in any case svn version were changed a little:
sudo apt-get install –reinstall ffmpeg=0.svn20080206-8 libavcodec51=0.svn20080206-8 \ libavdevice52=0.svn20080206-8 libavformat52=0.svn20080206-8 libavutil49=0.svn20080206-8 \ libpostproc51=0.svn20080206-8 libswscale0=0.svn20080206-8
