VLC does not support the audio or video format

"XVID" or "DIV3" which used to run fine on the same machine. VLC is not givin very much hints here:Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

What needs to be installed after vlc to play these formats  I used to do?

OK, quite randomly VLC appears to be able to play videos again.

It actually would be nice if six reboots uninstall and reinstal were necesairy to reactivate vlc.
