Re: glav error opening .avi file

Hallo,

the workaround I did use was playing back the file without sound. So a 
command like that should work: glav -a 0 output.avi
If that works you can go.

If the /dev/dsp does not exist try loading the kernel module snd-pcm-oss 
using a command like that: modprobe snd-pcm-oss
You should find than the /dev/dsp
You can give glav than another try like the way before, please also add 
-v 2 for a more verbose output:
glav -v 2 output.avi
