Have you tried outside matlab? Linux can be particular about proprietary file formats.

Maybe you have an old version of MATLAB.

Does the VideoReader class not work for you? Try the attached demo.

The information applies to any video (not just .avi files) that you can't play because you don't have the codec. Though maybe not directly for you since you have Linux instead of Windows but it's probably something similar.
