I got a video file with an avi
extension, and this is its technical description:
VIDEO: 1300 kbps XviD
RESOLUTiON: 720x304
AUDIO: 256 CBR AC-3
NOTES: Converted to XviD.
AAC to AC3.
When I play it on itunes It gives me this error:
Clicking on the tell me more button
I go to this link which states:
QuickTime Player plays Motion JPEG-based AVIs created by many digital cameras. Other forms of AVI media may require third-party software for playback.
But it gives no further detail about this third-party software.
Playing this video file on my VLC.. it crashes with this crash log:

I also downloaded the divx installer for mac. when I click on it, it opens for a sec then disappears (I got osx mavericks).
Also I copied the same video file into my nexus 5 Android 5 device and it played just fine on the VLC app there.
Any ideas?
