problem playing .avi files

[Guest shlomo]

I'm running Mandriva 2010.1 with all updates installed.

 

Recentely, I can't play .avi files with gxine, xine, mplayer, kmplayer, VLC or kaffeine, but Dragon Player does work.

I also can't rip and encode a DVD (tried dvd::rip, acidrip and k3b).

 

I think that both problems may be connected to a missing codec or library but don't know how to fix the problem.

 

With xine and mplayer, I get audio only and the following errors:

 

XINE

===

Video Codec: XviD (XVID) null

 

mplayer

=====

mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libopencore-amrnb.so.0:

cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

 

All the usual codecs and libraries (including XVID and libopencore) are installed

 

[solomon@shlomo1 ~]$ rpm -qa|grep xvid

xvidcap-1.1.7-2plf2010.0

libxvid4-1.2.2-1plf2010.0

 

[solomon@shlomo1 ~]$ rpm -qa|grep codec

win32-codecs-1.9-3plf2010.1

jakarta-commons-codec-javadoc-1.4-1mdv2010.1

helixplayer-helix-codecs-1.0.9-5mdv2009.0

jakarta-commons-codec-1.4-1mdv2010.1

real-codecs-1.2-5plf2010.1

xanim-codecs-1.0-7plf2010.1

 

[solomon@shlomo1 ~]$ rpm -qa|grep libdvdcss

libdvdcss2-1.2.10-2plf2010.0

 

[solomon@shlomo1 ~]$ rpm -qa|grep libopencore

libopencore-amr0-0.1.2-1plf2010.1

 

BUT

 

[solomon@shlomo1 ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/mplayer

linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)

libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb779d000)

<<<< snip snip snip >>>>

libbs2b.so.0 => /usr/lib/libbs2b.so.0 (0xb6cae000)

libstdc .so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc .so.6 (0xb6bbd000)

libopencore-amrnb.so.0 => not found

libopencore-amrwb.so.0 => not found

<<<< snip snip snip >>>>

 

I may have a problem with an incorrect version of libopencore because:

 

[solomon@shlomo1 ~]$ locate libopencore

/usr/lib/libopencore-amrnb.so.0.0.2

/usr/lib/libopencore-amrwb.so.0.0.2

/usr/share/doc/libopencore-amr0

/usr/share/doc/libopencore-amr0/LICENSE

/usr/share/doc/libopencore-amr0/README

 

 

I don't know why this happened or how to fix it. What am I missing?
