I have an AVI video. I have tried it playing it with the standard Ubuntu "Video" application as well as VLC. It cannot be played.
The video has no problems as it can be played no problem in a windows system.
What should I modify to play this video with VLC or Video? Any customization? codec?
P.S. I have been suggested to "check the format with ffprobe" but I don't know what that means? What is ffprobe?
EDIT: As asked the results of ffprobe are
