i am using fedora 9 and have installed
1. VLC
2. Gnome Mplayer
3. XIne
4. Real player 11
5. Movie player

When i try to play any divX files in them..
1. VLC just crashes
2. there is sound in Gnome M player but dont show the video
3. Xine just shows a white screen neither audio nor video
4. Real player shows an error that it is unable to play the content
5. there is sound in movie player but no video.

I'm guessing its the video at fault.

How many files have you tried playing? Other video formats working or not?

can u enable desktop effect ?
if yes try to disable it
