Debian Multimedia :: VLC And AVI Files - Video Not Shown
Oct 16, 2010
On my new 32-bit dell-vostro-1014 with debian-lenny OS I have installed via apt-get both smplayer and vlc-mediaplayer and have ripped the movie dvds by k3b and kept them as .avi files. While smplayer can play them, vlc-mediaplayer does not show the picture, only the voices are played. If I play the dvd from the optical tray then vlc poses no problem. Is it an inherent defect of the vlc package? If not what's the remedy?

When I try to play any music or movie file over my network....VLC or any other player gives me errors. I don't have any problems when I copy movie files directly to my hard drive from my network. This is on Debian 8 if that information is of any relevance here...
Here is the error I am faced with...
Code: Select allYour input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://gfstorage01/wolf/Torent%20Downloads/Olympus%20Has%20Fallen%20(2013)%20%5B1080p%5D/Olympus.Has.Fallen.2013.1080p.BluRay.x264.YIFY.mp4'. Check the log for details.

I am on Squeeze. In the past I have successfully extracted audio from video files. Recently when I try it I get an unplayable file, just some brief noise nothing more. Mplayer on the other hand plays every video and audio file out there. Is there something wrong with mplayer? I installed mplayer from the repo. I haven't compile mplayer since before Lenny.

I have a: debian squeeze(with last updates),sound system(Bose companion 5 USB) and Alsa Version 1.0.21. Sound system is work(good work) in:Ubuntu 9.10,Suse 11 and Windows But in Debian i have a starange problem:periodic sound is disappear(simply so or when i'm switch differents video files). It's not a problem with video players. /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart(stop|start) not help. Remain only restart all system, but it's not always help.Sometime it's help only 3 or 5 restart time. Mother board audio card is disabled(in BIOS). Detailed about strangeness:
1 Variant: sound is disappear when i'm swich differents video files(simply video or online video).
2 Varian:When Debian is starting:sound eat in logins form(sound a drop),but at once sound is disappear.

Is there a command line utility to tell me about what's inside a video file? Say I have a .mpg file. I want to know about the video stream and the various audio streams, the codec used for the video stream, the bitrate of the video stream, and so on.

What would be a nice, simple command to go through all files in a directory (no sub-directories), and change all the MP4 Video files I have to MP3 audio files (keeping the original filenames except for changing the "mp4" extension to "mp3")?
The files in question were videos taken with one of those Flip cameras, but I only need the audio off of it.

I have an integrated intel video and latest xserver-xorg-video-intel driver(using only stable repo). Now I wanna watch high-res video. From the bits of info collected from all over internet I understood that I need to:
1.aptitude install libdrm libva.
2.compile or find the .deb mplayer-vaapi and install it.
3.add -vo vaapi -va vaapi to the mplayer command line in gnome-mplayer.
My question : is that correct or did I miss something? Do I have to compile latest libdrm and libva or the ones from the squeeze repo will be good? Do I need kms enabled, i.e. install firmware-linux-nonfree?

I have a Kingston 8gb Datatraveler that has been giving me troubles lately. For some reason after I delete files from it it still shows up as full and the files are shown in the hidden trash files. How do I get rid of these files? I can't delete them as they just show back up. Also, I tried to format the drive with gparted and it won't unmount. When I right click and select information, at the bottom it says: Unable to find mount point. Unable to read the contents of the file system. Because of this, some operations may be unavailable.

This is my first time creating a video DVD from other video files. I drag and dropped 2 .flv files to the area where it tells you to drag them. They appeared there. Then I clicked "Burn..." and brasero disappeared.
I ran it in terminal and this is what I got:

I was having problems playing videos at all (here: Video files won't play and Dolphin keeps closing.openSUSE Forums) but now videos will play but without sound.I'm using vlc and smplayer, on a laptop running KDE 11.2, and VLC gives me this error:SMplayer acts like nothing is amiss.I've gone through the restricted media guide, and the first few steps of the audio troubleshooting guide that is linked in another thread and neither have helped.I tried installing alsa firmware which installed something but did nothing, then I tried a soundtest and all I could get back was this.:~> speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twavIf 'speaker-test' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it,like this:cnf speaker-test and I've just tried the yast step but can't work out how to delete and re-add my card.

I have two files, aw1.mp4 and aw2.mp4, each about 1 GB in size. I want to splice them together (aw2 after aw1) on a single 4.7 GB DVD, as one movie, and burn (transcode?) them so that the disc will play on a home DVD player that's +/-5 years old. ffmpeg -i aw1 aw2 worked.

I'm using Dell inspiron 1210 and installed netbook remix 10.10 recently. But I have trouble with watching video files with any players, including built-in player, SMPlayer, VLC media player.
Video is not appear with those players and can see only black screens. Sound works well. I think there are some troubles with codecs, But though I installed some codecs and restricted-extra, there are no improvements. What should I do to see video with this system? Those video files can be watched with my desktop;Ubuntu 10.04 and VLC player so I think files has no problem. Dell inspiron 1210 specification; Intel Atom Z530, GMA500, 1GB Ram. GMA500 driver has installed.

I'm running it in a virtual machine right now, because when I tried to dual boot my computer, it broke my hard drive.
I'm having a problem playing .mp4 files though. My phone only takes videos in this file format, and most of the time I'm working with large amounts of files, so converting them isn't an option. I've tried many different players, and they all lag like crazy, making the video nearly unwatchable. This is a huge flaw for me, and one reason I'm not bothering to try dual booting again...

I have a Samsung BD-6800 blu-ray player that i want to stream HD mkv files to from my pc. I made sure DLNA was enabled in the /etc/ushare.conf file. The blu-ray player sees my pc perfectly and i can navigate to the folders where the videos are stored, however when i select a folder with videos in it all that is shown is an option called "upper folder" which takes me back to the root directory. The videos are nowhere to be found. I checked on the Ushare web site to see if mkv files are supported which they are.
Here is what my /etc/ushare.conf looks like.
Code:
# /etc/ushare.conf
# Edit this file with 'dpkg-reconfigure ushare'
# Configuration file for uShare
# uShare UPnP Friendly Name (default is 'uShare').

I just reinstalled Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and an old problem has come back. For some reason I couldn't fix it even in my previous installation. The problem is the top gnome panel. See the photo below: As you can see, the network icon is not shown properly while the Me menu is being shown twice. I can't even restart or log out or shut down at this situation without pressing the keystroke to turn the power off.

Whenever I try to play certain WMV files in VLC, my computer screen goes black and in full mode. I can hear audio, but the computer effectively crashes and task manager won't open, forcing me to restart. What is the problem? I don't think it's a virus, as the file works perfectly for everyone else

I am using the following command to create a video of a bunch of jpeg files. The problem is that some of the jpegs are portrait and others are landscape. Ffmpeg is stretching the portrait images. Is it possible to maintain aspect ratio of the jpegs... perhaps put black bars on the portrait images using ffmpeg?
ffmpeg -r .75 -f image2 -i Image%d.jpg output.mp4

I put all my dvds on my "media center" by converting them to .MP4 with handbrake.
Recently I saw that with a MKV file you could do soft subtitles. I tested a part of a movie, and the audio and video are very out of sync.
With MP4/burned in audio everything is ok...
Edit: Ow yes I'm using XBMC for playing it. MP4 + MKV files are both H.264, they have the exact same settings except for subtitles...
Weirdly Enough: I tried another video and at this one the audio is in sync....

Just recently converted and I'm running both Ubuntu 11.04 (the Natty Narwhal?) (about 10 gig partitioned) and Windows Vista.
As said in the title, All DVD's and Video files won't play well: DVD's are pixelated most times, jumpy and sometimes the sound is scratchy - sound usually sorts itself out in a minute or so, but not always and similarly with any video files, like MP4s and other ripped files. I usually use VLC but others also don't work well or not at all. When playing MP4's do work it usually freezes the rest of the computer and I have to force switch off by the main switch as nothing works.
I've tried out tips like the following from users with previous problems on Ubuntu forums but still nothing seems to work: I've installed libdvdcss2 and the latest vlc. I've uninstalled all my players and reinstalled them.
I don't believe it's a restricted format problem as the DVD drive works fine in vista as does all the video files.
I wondered if perhaps my system specs aren't good enough for Ubuntu: intel(r) celeron(r) d cpu 220@1.2ghz 1.5ghz 2 gigs ram 32 bit operating system I drew this while on vista - when I tried to check my system specs using these commands on Ubuntu the "commands were not found": sudo ishw -html > mySpecs.html and sudo 1shw
