Hello list, Can anyone here tell me which program/codec I need in order to be able to view .avi files (short video sequences I shot with a small point-and-shoot Samsung digital camera). I tried with Kaffeine, MPlayer, RealPlayer and Xine, with no success. And I have the "windows codecs" installed. A "file" on one of the .avi files says this: -------------------------<cut>-------------------------- $ file s1050253.avi s1050253.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 800 x 592, 20.00 fps, video: XviD, audio: ADPCM (mono, 22050 Hz) -------------------------<cut>-------------------------- As an extra, if you know how I can convert that to something that would play on a living-room DVD player, that's even better ;-) TIA Ph.
