Problem with avi files in xine (Kaffeine too)

Hi,

there is ugly bug in kubuntu distribution as described here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kaffeine/+bug/210303

As I described in my post:   Rastafar on 2008-08-15

-------------------------------

For example I'm unable to play for example DV files (avi captured from digital camera), I always get the damned codec loop! On both my computers - one of them 
upgraded from 7.xx version of kubuntu, one of them clan 8.04 installation.

I'm able to open them in KINO with no prblm, buf not with avidemux (here I get error "Attempt to open <path_to _my_avi> failed", ater I click OK I get "Could not 
pen the file". After OK I get back to avidemux...

When try to play the same file with mplayer, I get err "AVI_NI: No video stream found!", but the file plays normally.

In xine player I get this (translated from czech so it is not exact wording):
=====
xine engine error
no demultiplex module for file <path_to_my_file> found. This usually means that file format was not recognized.
=====

when I click "more..." button I get: see xine1.png attached

so there is some problem with xine itself I think...

...or with liavformat / codec / ffmpeg

I tryed to reinstall (with purge) of xine components, kaffeine, libav..., deleting .xine in home, ... every time the same error when tryig to play DV files...

Is here anybody experiencing something similar? I found no such post in your archive... Plase tell me what to check to be able to play all files again. I can provide 
you with more information, just ask...

Thank you.
