Install the Gstreamer plugins for proper working of video files in VLC or in any Video player.

To install Gstreamer plugins type in the following commands.

  • Update your Repositories.

sudo apt-get update

  • Install the Gstreamer plugins

sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly

After this you should be able to play almost all types on audio/video files on any player of your choice.

I too had the same problem and solved it by installing Gstreamer plugins.
