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.
