But brasero claiming that an avi file does not contain video, when it obviously does,
avi is a container and can have nearly any video codec, but should have video :-). But if the codec is not installed, how one can know it's really video and not any data with extension. remember linux do not really like indetifying files by extnsion :-(
In 13.1 they are all installed, and Brasero segfaults. The command "file" identifies perfectly the file types, without needing any codec. You can look inside the avi container and identify the needed codecs without breaking any patent, I believe (mediainfo or equivalent). Which a different thing from displaying the contents of the file. In fact, brasero knows and displays the duration of the video files, so it does know things about them. No, it is simply bad coding. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
