Hello,
To be able to see avi clips I installed with Syanapic the VLC package which had been categorized under "multimedia". When I launch it nothing happens :-(. Tried to restart the machine but it does not do any better.
Thanks in advance for your help

Have you tried running it from a terminal emulator and looking for errors? You may get better replies on their forum.
But why use a QT-based application under a GTK-based desktop environment when there are many similar and better GTK-based applications?
All I've seen about non-Windows versions of VLC is that they're buggy. The last time I tried it, it launched fine, but used to crash every few seconds while watching any video.
If I were you I'd use mplayer with its native graphical interface or better, with the gnome-mplayer interface. mplayer plays virtually every format out there, including AVIs, FLVs and many more. Plus the interface is GTK-based.

Hello ManOfSteel,
As you said I went to their forum and they suggested just what you did. On the consol I saw that it won't execute as root. I retried logged a <user> and it did run and play the movie however, it did not play the sound.
... So I close this as resolved and reopen thread http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?topic=5267.0
