Problem playing a raw avi file.

The attached file (test_raw.avi) cannot be played with VLC. No crash but the window stays black.

The video is made of 3 frames (red, green and blue) 100x100 with a 1s delay between the frames.

Windows XP (sp3) : Windows Media Player : OK VLC (1.1.2) : KO

Windows 7 : Windows Media Player : OK VLC (1.1.2) : KO

Ubuntu 10.4 : Totem (Gstreamer 0.10) : OK VLC (1.0.6) : KO

I've also attached the same file with an xvid compression (test_xvid) but the results are the same as above (a little bit better for VLC though since the red frame is displayed this time...).

PS: the file may be wrongly formatted but I think it is worth reporting since it works with other video players.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
