AVI file is broken. Seeking will not work

Asked by AllanW

Trying to play Lost from a download from isohunt through VLC. As I play the first episode a pop up says the following:
" This AVI file is broken. Seeking will not work correctly. Do you want to try to fix it. This might take a long time.
  Cancel Don't repair Repair."
When I press repair nothing happens. When I press don't repair, then press play, it does start but only momentary then stops mid frame. Is there a cure. Somebodies help would be appreciated. Thank You
AllanW

Hi Allan,

This is the wrong forum for this question. You might want to try filing a bug https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug against Ubuntu.

Thank you,
