What software(exceping drivers) do you need for maximum performance with blu-ray movies or .mkv files? Is there any place I can find linux codecs or video players? I'm using Slackware64 13.37
View 7 RepliesI like SuSE, I even got certified as admin of it but i'm going crazy every time when i want to watch some video. It's more easy to install and maintain some services then make suse play video. I'm going crazy when every player says to me that it doesn't contain any codecs. I heard i'ts all about licensing.. So, why doesn't Ubuntu havn't any problem to play my mp4 and other video formats just from the box?My case is regular.. No way to play mp4 in totem,banshee,xine no h264 decoder.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the mplayer essential codecs pack and extracted in directories mentioned.I even compiled mplayer and it can play now almost all the files. But I am having a problem.The problem is that other multimedia players dont play even a single file.I tried with xine,totem,kaffiene and every bundled player.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI know Ubuntu has limited flash support but how else do I view a high definition 1080p video? Its all choppy to say the least, after a few seconds, its just like a slide show. I am using flashplugin-installer from adobe to render flash files.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use Ubuntu 10.04. I need to play a full HD (1080p) video on my pc:
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 7750 BE
MB: ASUS M3A32-MVP
RAM: 2x1GB KINGSTON 1066MHz
VGA: ASUS 8800GS
I think my PC should be able to play it, but the video is really not fluent. What should be wrong? Power less hardware? Wrong codecs?
When I watch a HD movie, the video will freeze momentarily sometimes. Would a 8400GS or 9600GT take care of this?
My video card is a 7300 le,

I can play any video file even 720p but when I am trying to play 1080p video files my video lags.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Zotac IONITX-F-E motherboard (Intel Atom Dual Core 1.6 GHz + Nvidia ION) -based box with Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit installed. Do you or does someone you know have the same setup as I do? If so, do they have 1080p video playback working? If so, what driver are they using? I've tried following every guide I could find, but no luck so far. I have libvdpau1 and libvdpau-dev installed. I have the nvidia 195.36.24 driver installed (I used the nvidia installer). I have mplayer installed (which I compiled from source with --enable-vdpau).
I try to run mplayer with this command:
Code:
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau path/to/myfile.mkv
I get the following message in my terminal:
Code:
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
I have libvdpau-dev and libvdpau1 installed.
After Googling this problem, I found a post that suggested the following steps:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-195 nvidia-195-modaliases
It turns out that I had already added the nvidia-vdpau repository. However, despite that, I get:
Code:
E: Couldn't find package nvidia-glx-195
The same problem exists for the nvidia-195-modaliases package. Do these packages exist? Is there some other way to get them?
I wanting to build a media player/PVR MythTV linux PC for my TV which will be capable of simultaneously encoding video(both h.264/MPEG-4 and xvid) whilst playing back 1080p video. That way I can watch hd video I've recorded whilst I'm recording and converting another programme in the background.

View 9 Replies View RelatedTwo GNU/Linux computers are playing the same video with mplayer (or vlc or whatever).
How to sync the pause/seeking/FFw between them. Like when I press pause on master computer, the other one is also paused on the same frame.
(Expecting both player-specific and universal approaches)
Does GNU/Linux have separate video codecs like Windows has? Or all the codecs in GNU are built in video-players?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Ubuntu 9.10 dual booted with XP on a laptop. Whenever I try to play any video files, even just bog standard avi files, the media player just shuts down and disappears. This has happened with the movie player that comes with the OS as well as VLC. I also tried out Dragon Player and the files seem to load up and when played the timeline slider just skips across to the end in about 5 seconds but no picture is shown during this time. The codecs all appear to be installed fine even though I know that VLC doesn't require them. My video card is ATI and I know that it works fine as these files play alright when booted up into XP, Hi-Def included.

My PC - intel i3, integrated 4500 vga and 4GB RAM, Ubuntu 11.04 64bit. CPU usage is around 30-70% and disk load is low.
Typical performance tweaks like "skip loops - all" and read buffer size doesn't affect current condition. In Ubuntu 10.10 everything worked flawlessly.
PS. whether 4500 gpu acceleration should work in Ubuntu 11.04 by default? I can't set it up...
Just installed ubuntu 10.04 and would like some suggestions on a good video and audio player and maybe an idiots guide to installing all the codecs i need. I would like to find an audio player with some good visualizations.

i'd like to watch a 720p movie but it doesn't run smoothly. so i tried to install the coreavc codecs.
Did all these instructions step by step:
1- http://code.google.com/p/coreavc-for...erInstallation
2- http://code.google.com/p/coreavc-for...wserverInstall
3- http://code.google.com/p/coreavc-for...ConfigureCodec
never got an error mesage. In my ~/.mplayer/config file I also added vc=coreserve,.
If I start the 720p movie, there aren't any changes. It is still jerking.
I'm not sure that MPlayer is really using the codecs, how can I look if it is using it or not?
I guess it is the setting of the Opensuse, as i have tried different players, e.g SMPlayer, VLC adn Xine, all show blue dots on the player's screen.

2-I graphics effects ruin the entire desktop and when it is in fact no graphic still looks bad everything looks pixelated or striped like when flex is damaged or something is damaged and is in perfect condition.
Now I'm going with the version 10.04 of ubuntu:
1-I have the same problem with the CD I had in 9.10, except that in the 10/04 I can open some programs with the Emphaty and monitor systems.
2-When you close the laptop when I open the screen looks as if the flex embers damaged or broken screen (when it is of course) and I have no other to reset it.
3-When you drive about 30 minutes using computed with any open programs (Firefox, Emphaty, emesene, movie player, Gnome player) to close it or minimize it gets super slow and sometimes if I Friza and then to turn it off and repeat history.
4-When I'm watching a movie or a video with movie player is super slow (just what I'm playing does not the OS) as if Lageado and stuff.
