I'm trying, reeeeally trying to use Ekiga. But the video quality is horrible. So I started messing with the settings, lo-and-behold I find info about h.264 and how fantastic it is. Well, I say to myself, let's try that on for size.
What? No h.264 option in Ekiga. That's weird, especially considering they have supported it since 3.0 and I'm using the version in the Karmic repos, 3.2.5. Not free, ok, I'll just install it then, right?
x264 package didn't do it. A little ffmpeg install as well. libavcodec52, which uninstalled a buttload of other stuff also. Even dl'd and installed libopal3.6.4-plugins-non-free. All to no option for the h.264 codec option in Ekiga.
Oddly enough, the libopal non free plugins DID add the iLBC audio codec into Ekiga as on option. Why not h.264? What am I missing? Also, why is this SO difficult? There is not any decent documentation that I can find out there that goes over this. Google has failed me.
All I have in the video codecs is theora and h261.
I have an Acer Aspire One netbook and have tried to enable my microphone without any luck. Surprisingly the Sound Recorder works perfectly but skype and ekiga are not able to transfer my voice. I have tried playing around with gnome ALSA mixer and PulseAudio Volume Control but nothin changes.
I am not getting very good sound from skype. I wondered if Ekiga was better than skype so I have:
Installed it. Obtained a sip address. adjusted the ports on my router as below set up the user by way of the configuration assistant.
And still I see nothing and hear nil. I am not getting an error message. When I run the test address it immediately reports it is done. I set up the H232 account.
Each of the following port ranges were translated to the same ranges: TCP 1720-1720 UDP 5000-5100 TCP 30000-30000
i can't install multimedia codec, after installing i restart PC and then linux writes error kde4int i hadn't this error before, it begins after installing new monitor Samsung syncmaster B1940
So I know that Mac OSX post-production and Linux post-production are very different things. I'm hoping to give editing on Linux with Cinelerra a try and I'm wondering, what in FFMpeg's array of codec and container support is widely understood to be the best combination for editing video. I'm looking for the most lossless option so H.264 won't do. Is there a good Apple Intermediate Codec or Apple Pro Res equivalent? Is AVCHD the answer?
is there a legit (read: legal) way of getting the Fraunhofer MP3 codec in Ubuntu? Any commercial or freeware compressors that use it, or maybe even a standalone codec installer (like Radium for Windows, though IIRC that one's not exactly legal)?If not, is there perhaps a better codec for compressing MP3s? I've used Fraunhofer at 256Kbps CBR for years and never had a problem.
I am running Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit version. Want to capture a short audio stream from a DVD.
VLC has a command "Open Capture Device" that gives the user options for ripping (I think) the audio tracks. I made the relevant choices and got this message:
Streaming / Transcoding failed: It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder: MPEG AAC Audio. If you don't know how to fix this, ask for support from your distribution.
This is not an error inside VLC media player. Do not contact the VideoLAN project about this issue.
What is to be done?
I went to synaptic package manager and I have FFMPEG, libavcodec, and AAC installed.
This may be a minor irritation, but I'm puzzled by it nonetheless. I'm ripping my CDs to MP3 using Sound Juicer with the lamemp3enc plugin and following gstreamer pipeline.
All was great a couple days ago, but suddenly the files' audio properties show 48 kbps bitrate when it should be well over 200. I even changed the pipeline to use "target=1 bitrate=256" with the same result. The files are being encoded as expected and that is reflected in the file size and the Statistics view in VLC.
I have two computers running Ubuntu 10.10. One has all the latest updates, but the other has not been updated in several days. This problem is happening on the former, but not the latter. gst-inspect lamemp3enc shows both computers have the same version of the encoder.
I thought I'd put it out to the forum here before submitting a bug in launchpad.
I just bought a new hard drive and decided to upgrade to 10.4.2 (I was running 9.10).I started doing the normal customizations that come with a new install. I tried to play an mp3 file and the sstem offered to install the new gstreamer codecs(ffmpeg,fluendo-mp3, and plugins-ugly).I click on install and it is stuck at preparing libavformat52.The terminal details state:Code: dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'libavformat52' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.Preparing to replace libavformat52 4:0.5.1-1ubuntu1 (using./libavformat52_4%3a0.5.1-1ubuntu1_i386.deb).Unpacking replacement libavformat52.It was stuck so long and I could not kill it (did not know what to kill), so I rebooted once before this message.
I've a HP Mini 210 and sometimes it becomes difficult to watch HD Movies. Some videos in 720p I can watch perfectly, while others start crashing after 1 minute..They are mostly in MKV, which from what I understand, it's just a container for the video/audio and can be in several formats. I know that VLC has the Transcode feature, and I'd like to use that to transcode the videos to a video Codec that requires the least CPU processing.
I installed the Moonlight 2.0 Firefox plugin via the .xpi installer. I'm trying to get the Moonlight codec pack installed, but it just isn't working. I agree to the EULA and it seems to download the pack, but every time it says that it cannot verify the downloaded binary. Sometimes it causes Firefox to crash upon download completion. I've tried searching on Google, but I've had no luck.
This never happened with Ubuntu 8.10-9.10, but both my video players, VLC and Movie Player, say they can't find the wma codec (actually it says wmas, and this is referring to videos not audio) and says that this can't be put right, even though at the same time these players have begun to play the video correctly.
I've got all the updates and the Restricted Extras, etc. Everything seems to be working. This is on an Acer Aspire One, dual booting with W7, installed from USB stick.
When i try to select a codec for ripping a dvd to in acidrip, there are no codecs in the menu that is meant to be there. I have tried reinstalling mencoder and acidrip but no luck. running lucid with latest updates.this has not worked since i first installed lucid. i also get this when i run mencoder.

I'm running xubuntu 10.04 and I've installed media codecs as per the " Comprehensive Multimedia & Video Howto " thread. I also have faac, libfaac0, faad, and libfaad2 installed. But when viewing some videos or trying to transcode to anything with the aac codec I get the "no AAC" error.How can I fix this?
I want to run the following in Totem or Audacious. It's a radio stream. Here's the link...LBC 97.3The only trouble is it keeps saying I need the following codec MMSH needs to be installed. Any idea how I go about this? All other multimedia codecs are working fine.
So I've been trying to convert .avi files to .mov using FFmpeg. I input something like this: Code: ffmpeg -i in.avi -b 1000 out.mov
And it says: Code: Unsupported codec for output stream #0.1 So I tried adding -acodec mp3 OR -acodec libmp3lame and it says unknown codec.
I went to install libmp3lame-dev using Code: sudo apt-get install libmp3lame-dev
And it comes up with this: Code: The following NEW packages will be installed: libmp3lame-dev
The following packages will be REMOVED: libdc1394-22{u} libfaac0{u} libxvidcore4{u} linux-headers-2.6.28-11{u} linux-headers-2.6.28-11-generic{u} I'm fairly sure I don't want those packages removed? Should mention I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 64-Bit.
I have a video - taken on my mobile phone. In totem, I get sound and video: lovely. However, in Openshot I don't get sounds, and in WinFF it tells me "Unsupported codec (id=7372" for the audio stream. Why, when both are using FFMpeg do the installed codecs work differently in different programs?
I've been using OpenShot before with no problems at all, I then formatted and Dual booted Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 and now I have a little problem. I've downloaded and installed OpenShot 1.2 via Software Center and installed LAME Mp3 codec via Terminal
Code: sudo apt-get install lame Everytime I try to export a video I've created in OpenShot I get this message. "The following formats/codecs are missing from your system: libmp3lame. You will not be able to use the selected export profile. You will need to install the missing formats/codecs or choose a different export profile."
I checked the codec in OpenShot and it's missing, I opened Synaptic to search "lame" and sure enough, it's installed version 3.98 so I tried reinstalling lame mp3 via Synaptic and still no audio codec is there in OpenShot when I click Refresh Codec. I have now tried reinstalling OpenShot with the codec already installed and still nothing, as well as uninstalling both, restarting the computer.
And then installing codec then OpenShot and vice versa for installation and STILL nothing is happening. I googled OpenShot LAME Mp3 codec problems and I can't find a single thing. OpenShot was working flawless before I dual booted and now it wont work at all, every single video format I can use, it's telling me I need the codec for it, which I have but OpenShot tells me I don't.
I'm having trouble getting audio from this particular radio station and have tried the gstreamer plugins, totem, VLC, win32codecs amongst others.Using Ubuntu 11.04 and Firefox 5.0
Radio Station: http:[url]....
It works fine on my Windows 7 PC and my Macbook Pro.
Here's a plugin that lets VLC from wheezy-backports play h.265 content. I packaged it for the MEPIS 12 repo, but it should work on wheezy. [URL] ....
Or create your own packages against Debian's stock VLC 2.0.3, that might work.
You need to install the libde265 package first, then the plugin package.
You can use the static ffmpeg binaries from ffmpeg.org to encode to that h.265 (hevc) codec, but it will take quite a while.
Code: Select all./ffmpeg -i [inputfile] -vcodec hevc [outputfile] Try mp4 or mkv for the output file extension.
The good news is that it will create video of the same quality that is half the size of a comparable h.264 file. This is handy for putting movies on space-limited storage, such as on a phone or tablet. I do know that MX Player on Android can play h.265 video.
how I fixed my sound problems, that happened only for "windows media 9" videos, after struggling for days changing the players etc. (using Ubuntu lucid 10.04 up to date)First search for "Ubuntu install w32codecs" (or w64codecs depending on your system bus width) and... install them as root or 'sudo'
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install w32codecs (or w64codecs)
After updating totem to the very latest version (May 12, 3 days ago) the problem happened to be likely from the source: gstreamer. So I tried to install the latest version of gstreamer, and it worked (the default one packaged in Ubuntu is dated 2008...).
