Fedora :: WMV File Not Supported - Codecs Not Available
Aug 11, 2010
My brother is a linux master and the computers I get handed down are obviously all use linux. I am trying to play a wmv file on my comp. I just downloaded mplayer but it seems not to work. I have movie player as well but it tells me the file is not supported. Read about w32codecs but they seem not to be available anymore. Maybe I need to convert the wmv to mpeg but yet I don't know how.
I have FC10! so far i have downloaded the mplayer and its codecs.further i extracted both the packages( in DOWNLOAD folder).but I'm not able to extract the codecs in the /usr/local/lib/codecs directory.it says you do not have permission. how should i know whether to compile the mplayer or is it pre-compiled?
I am new to opensuse. I want to install multimedia codecs on my opensuse 11.4. Is there any way to download multimedia codecs as an iso file and then burn a cd to install them on opensuse? Now, I am downloading "NonOSS CD" in add-on downloads section, is this iso file containing multimedia codecs?
I need to install restricted codecs (MP3, WMA, etc) in Fedora but I wanna download them at home. Is there a way I can download them in Ubuntu, put them on my USB Hard drive and install them from there?
I recently installed fedora and enjoying learning what it can do. One of the things that I wanted to do was play DVDs. I installed vlc and the libvdreader package but am unable to play DVDs. I even used "movie player", and the program said, fedora does not have the right codecs to play the DVD. Does anybody know what I need to do? And what codecs that I need to download if any?
When I try playing a movie using mplayer, it says The following plugins are required
MPEG -1 Layer 3 decoder Divx mpeg-4 version 5 decoder
or
could not determine the type of stream
In the first case, clicking on the search option, error occurs (probably because of the proxy I am working behind) I can use yum install though behing the proxy. How can install these codecs from the command line ?
[URL]... It seems like I should be able to install i686 and x86_64 versions of the same package. This same dependency also prevents installing Adobe Reader.
Fedora is a distro that is focused only on free and open source software.This means that Fedora doesn't distribute any proprietary or patent encumbred software, so they'll not be present in the official Fedora releases and repositories. This does not mean that they cannot be instaled in a Fedora distro. Because there are many users who want to run some of that software, the community has been providing, since a long time ago, alternative ways to acomplish that. This is very important when a new release is distributed, because it attracts many first time users and not all of them are aware of the above mentioned, and every six months, the same questions are placed in the forums, regarding that.
To help new users to install the non free and proprietary stuff mentioned in the titlle, I decided to leave here a fast summary, chosed among many of the available options.
Each time I connect to a Mumble server, this appears:Quote: Unable to find matching CELT codecs with other clients. You will not be able to talk to all users. Apparently that is the cause for not being able to hold a conversation on mumble. Nobody can hear me, though I can't specify if I can hear others at the moment. Some googling has led me to this:
Gentoo Bug #293300 media-sound/mumble-1.2.0_beta1 tries to load media-libs/celt-0.7.0 as "libcelt.so.0.7.0", but the actually installed library is named "libcelt.so.0.0.0". Thus CELT support in Mumble is supposedly missing, but can be restored by symlinking libcelt.so.0.7.0 to libcelt.so.0.0.0.
I just installed F15 new, and I wonder what packages do I need to install to play movies with restricted codecs? I thought I have everything what I installed last time with F14 but I can't play my movies in Kaffeine. I have rmpfusion and the packages gstreamer-plugins-bad-free gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly, and all other gstreamer-* packages.
and also I need to find answers for following two questions.How to find mountable devices and their device files in Linux?How can I allow a regular user to mount a device in Linux?
What is the best/easiest way to get ALL multimedia codecs both free nd non free so i can play all types of audio an video files? Like xvid quicktime, avi windows video files etc etc
There is a centralized FTP server which are accessed by clients to develop some web development project and to achieve this the clients are using ftp service. The problem is when they are trying to copy any files and directories they are getting the following error: "Message reported from the file system: FTP copy not supported,use move instead" I've checked all the permissions and they are all OK. I don't know why this is happening. they can create and move files and folders but can't copy files and folders.
I just got a new DVD burner and decided to get a cheapest burner (an LG SATA burner) I did not have much preferences on either IDE or SATA so I just got a serial ATA. K3B burns DVD's just fine, but the speed is pegged at 1x even though writing speed specified was 8x. Device buffer is fluctuating from 0 to 80% all the time, which seems to suggest that the data is not being fed into the drive at good sustained rate to write faster.
I tried: hdparm -d /dev/sr0 which I got: /dev/sr0: HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device doing: hdparm /dev/sr0 [Code]....
I am purchasing a Western Digital WD10EARS 1TB hard disk for use with Fedora 11. My questions is will I get good performance or do I need some tweaking?
This drive has the new Advanced Format with 4k physical sectors. Some people have had performance problems with these drives. I want to make sure Fedora 11 can format the drive corectlly.
I'm having problems with NX, it's doing strange things, trying to connect to some IP host in timbuktoo because my DNS provider's DNS sucks AND because NX is looking up the host "localhost" without first consulting my hosts file (which nsswitch explicitly tells it to do). THAT's all beside the point.
To work around this apparent bug in NX I tried creating an iptables rule to redirect traffic destin for a certain IP (10.x.x.x) to localhost (127.0.0.1) with the following rule: iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -d 10.x.x.x -j DNAT --to 127.0.0.1. After adding the above rule, my attempts to connect to that host continued to get routed right off into the internet where I DIDN't want them to go. Instead of being redirected to the localhost/loopback address.
It seems DNAT to localhost is not supported? A Google search reveals many other people having this issue but blaming it on everything but iptables. I'm proposing that it's not supported, by design or not, to redirect traffic from a NIC to the loopback network?
I'm using an HP 2009m 20" widescreen monitor, and have a Nvidia 8500gt video card. Latest Nvidia drivers from RPM Fusion are installed.
My problem is that the only widescreen resolution I have a choice of in both nvidia-settings and gnome's "Display preferences," is 1600x900. While this is fine for desktop apps, my video card doesn't handle games very well at that resolution.
So, I know my card and monitor are capable of displaying other widescreen resolutions (such as 1360x768) because they work in Windows 7, but Fedora doesn't give me the choice of selecting them.
Is there a file that Fedora uses to determine the supported resolutions? How would I be able to select resolutions that I know are supported (at least in Windows 7)? Can editing xorg.conf give me this ability?
I just looked in my xorg.conf, and it's surprisingly slim compared to others I've seen.
