Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Get .mov Files To Play?
May 11, 2011
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and am trying to get .mov files to play. I need these for lectures for a class. here is an error when I try to use them from mplayer in the terminal[wmv2 @ 0xb6579e00]header damagedError while decoding frame!Maybe the files are damaged. If you can direct me to a .mov sample file that I can download and try out
I need to play or preferably convert (i.e. to MP3) old SNG files, which contain voice records. From what I could find, it's basically a MIDI created by synthetiser. I think it was recorded by some ancient VLC player. I failed so far to play it on anything I could download.
I am Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) user. I cannot plat any dat file from VCD in my computer. I don't know why? I have already install all gstreamer plugins and Ubuntu Restricted Extras. I tried to play dat files from VCD by Mplayer, VLC player, Movie Player and Kaffein.
My audio is working on my recent koala install. System wav files play without a problem.
However, when I open a terminal to play my own wav files I get an error. (I encountered this problem merely by trying to setup an incoming mail notification with CheckGmail....)
The command: aplay /home/saskms/Music/test.wav
The error: aplay: test_wavefile:807: can't play WAVE-file format 0x0002 which is not PCM or FLOAT encoded
I think I have installed all the necessary gstreamer options. I am guessing that maybe I just need to re-rip the WAV file into a different format. I also tried doing searches on the error, but yielded no results.
I have converted a couple of Video Files into OGM using DVD Encoder ( OGM), is there any available software in Linux/ Ubuntu that will enable me to convert these to be able to play on a Standard DVD Player. ( AVI - Mpeg )
I was having a terrible time playing some WMV files and I finally got it working this way: Based on this: [URL]
Step 1 Add the Medibuntu repositories to sources Code: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list by adding this at the bottom of the file then saving
Code: #medibuntu repositories deb [URL] lucid free non-free
Step 2 Update for that change to take effect Code: sudo apt-get update
Step 3 Install the w32codecs [you won't find it if Medibuntu repositories are not in place] Code: sudo apt-get install w32codecs Step 4 Install Kplayer [so far the only player I can get to work for WMV files]
I'm new to this. The VIDEO_TS folder has a bunch of VOB files sequentially names along with BUP and IFO files. But when I start up VLC and choose 'Open Dir' and point to the VIDEO_TS file, it plays a short trailer of the movie and does not move onto the rest of the VOB files. Is there a was to play them sequentially? or is the only way to select the files in the order in which to play them and then play them all?
I just recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my computer it's a Pentium 4, 2,26 GHz, 1 GB RAM, and 2 40 GB HDD... I ran update manager and installed all the updates. I installed all the Ubuntu restricted extras and I can play all the formats but .flv; there's sound but the all I can see are lines and static.I ran the tests and see if my video card was properly working and all seemed OK. Also every time I play a ..... video or from another site that uses flash the computer totally crashes. I installed Chromium and see if the problem had to do with Firefox but chromium also totally crashes. after rebooting I tried playing another Internet video, but all I could get was a blank screen with sound.
Another issue I had was that right after the installation I could not set the screen resolution higher than 800x600, I don't know if the problem with the flash and the screen resolution are related =X
Is it at all fathomable to play .qcp files on Ubuntu 11.04? I REALLY want to... I recorded this totally amazing trumpet player, and I need to play this audio to learn more.
"There is no application installed for RIFF audio files." Is what I get when I double click it.
WAIT! VLC does it! OMG YAY! With skips in the audio How can I convert to mp3
Download this: [URL]
It converts any mobile file to a file of your choice, it worked PERFECTLY for my .qcp file, converted it from qcp to mp3 with no problem, no skips, full file.
I owned a eee pc 900HA netbook which I installed with Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows XP on separate partition...
I've been using Ubuntu for almost 2 years now and the thing is, I still got this problem since 9.10.
In Windows, I was able to play an .mkv files fully playable on 480p but not with 720p. In Ubuntu, it have problem even playing 480p mkv files and also with flv 480p. 720p is already out of question. By default, it'll download a codec used to play mkv files when the first time I try to run the video.
I have no problem with playing other format (AVI, OGG) on 480p or lower mkv, flv resolution. Is there a reason why it can't run normally on Ubuntu but perfectly rendered in Windows?
I've try almost all codec (mplayer, totem, vlc) but still have problem running at full speed.
I have several .MTS (avchd) files that I'm trying to play in xine but I get the common "there is no demuxer available to handle ..." How can I tell what I"m missing and where do I find it?
My computer wont play.php files... I've installed real player, vlc, etc but they wont recognise them.Im running ubuntu studio, karmic koala version on a dell dimension 8250.When i play php files in real player this message come up."The player does not have capabilities to play back this content".
I have an anime series (about 24 episodes, each 325-350 megabytes each) encoded in .mkv format, high quality (1280x720). It took quite some time to download this series, however no matter what I do, I cannot get the files to play correctly under Ubuntu. I have tried several different media players, including VLC, Movie player, and Mplayer, and none work correctly. VLC will play the first 15-20 seconds fine, and then stop the video and go back to the beginning. I however, do realize that my laptop isn't high-spec, and isn't really built for HD video playback (1.6ghz single core athlon CPU, 4 gigs of ram, integrated radeon x1250 graphics chip.)
I can play these files on my system and have them play correctly? (Without lag or stuttering?) Also the anime is subtitled, so I would want to make sure the subs work correctly, and preferably have the audio in sync with the video.
For some reason, audio and video doesn't sync while playing MP4 video files. I have tried many MP4 files to confirm this is not specific file related issue. I have tried both VLC and Mplayer. Sound track doesn't sync with video track.
smplayer won't play any of my online radio stations in .asx format. vlc and totem will play them so it is not a big deal, but I would like smplayer to work.
I am new to Ubuntu. I have moved on from Windows and I find Ubuntu really cool. Have been checking out free softwares and I got this VLC player to play videos on my Ubuntu. But when In try to play online .wmv files, it says The Plugin is Missing! I usually watch TV online but its not working. How can I get it working, I'd like to have an easy solution to this so that I don't mess up with Ubuntu.
When I try playing any TTA files in Clementine, Rhythmbox or Movie Player all I hear is white noise. It plays normally in VLC and SMPlayer, but I want to be able to play TTA files in Clementine. I've been able to do so before I recently reinstalled Ubuntu 10.10 on my computer. I've tried installing ttaenc-3.4.1 from source, and nothing changed. I also tried installing ffmpeg-0.6.1 from source, but that didn't help either.
VLC Media player has been giving me a few problems and I'm hoping someone here has a fix for this issue.Yesterday I was playing an avi file and my browser, that was also running, froze up in the background. At the same time my video became choppy and started to freeze. I shut down firefox and vlc but when I opened it back up all of my avi files where greyed out. I've posted a request for help on the vlc forums but no one has responded. Has anyone else experienced this problem? It's frustrating because my vlc player will still play dvd's but it won't play any avi files. Oh and I tried the drag and drop option per a suggestion but all I get is sound with no video. Lastly, I should mention that I'm a multi tasker and was also trouble shooting a problem I was having with amarok, which I've since uninstalled. Could amarok have some how screwed up my files? I've even uninstalled an reinstalled vlc but nothing works
