problems maximising avi files on gnome mplayer and vlc

Asked by sarah olley

Whatever I want to watch will play fine as long as the window is below a certain size but if I maximise the window it sticks and jumps and I have NO idea why. Moreover, totem won't work at all despite the fact I have downloaded every gstream add on available. Any ideas on how to fix it? It isn't asking for any additional plugins or anything so I am at a loss. Thanks in advance.

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

If I knew what it was and how to get it, probably. I am not that great with computers but I am trying to learn how to fix some stuff for myself.
