Re: totem don't play *.avi...

avi's are just a container format.  Use the "file" command on you problem avi and you will see what it is encoded with.  Then we could suggest which gstreamer plugin to use (although you have most of the usual ones...)

Re: totem don't play *.avi...

DivX3 is MPEG4, usually msmpeg4v2.

Re: totem don't play *.avi...

I always wanted to use totem instead of totem-xine... But it always fails at some specific format, sometimes for DVD's or live streams..
