View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded a movie and it was in XVID format. When i tried to play it with vlc it played a small message that you need an xvid player that needs to be downloaded from a particular website... Then I tried to search for the missing plugins and i even found some and downloaded and installed but it did not work . the file which i downloaded was a 600 mb. then i switched to windows to play the file and it automatically opened the website and asked to purchase the xvid player.I even ttried to convert it to avi or mp4 format using avidemux but did not work.

I downloaded the xvid codec from: PackMan:: Informationen zum Paket xvidcore, and the install was successful.I'm trying to play an xvid file, and Kaffeine is saying it cannot play all file formats, would I like to install additional support. When I click yes, it asks me for additional repositories.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been researching this for awhile now and cannot find anything that works. I'm trying to watch videos in a browser, either Chrome or Firefox, that are encoded with Xvid. Nothing has worked, and when I try to watch an Xvid video I get the following error:
"We're sorry, our content is not compatible with your computer configuration."
I've installed vlc, libxvidcore4, gecko-mediaplayer, ubuntu-restricted-extras, and numerous other libraries, none of which do anything.
How can I watch streaming XviD movies on Ubuntu? Whenever I go to a page with an XviD, all that happens is the little "Buffering" wheel in the corner starts spinning but never plays, and when I click on the "Download and install the XviD Codec" in the middle screen, an error message pops up saying "We're sorry, our content is not compatible with your computer configuration."

View 11 Replies View RelatedI need a way to batch convert 720p video files from avc1 to xvid in Ubuntu 10.04. I'm not terribly concerned about file size, but I do wish to retain the picture quality as much as possible. I believe the audio is encoded as aac, which is fine for my purposes.
What would be the best and easiest way to do this? I've tried using Handbrake. During my first attempt, I had it using ffmpeg to convert to MPEG-4, but that just gave me a super-low quality video at twice the file size. Trying h.264 now, so we'll see how that works out. But just in case it doesn't pan out so well, what other ways do you recommend?
I was thinking I'd write a bash script to reencode the files one by one, but the problem is that I have very little knowledge about codecs and containers and whatnot - so I wouldn't know what parameters I would pass ffmpeg/mencoder.
I'm using OpenSuSE 11 and even with the xvidcore packages installed, totem-xine, etc., nothing seems to work.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi have written a bash script to convert flv files (e.g. videos) to xvid to be played on my dvd player. the conversion is not really the issue, as it works. what i am dealing with now are 2 problems i have not found a good workarouond:
1. surpressing the shell output of mencoder completely ( i do not want to see all the mencoder messages). this i have only solved to a certain extend.
2. i want to create a progress bar. this one i have not yet cracked.
the script:
code:
#!/bin/bash
## settings
v_bitrate=768
video_opts="-ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=$v_bitrate:autoaspect"
audio_opts="-oac mp3lame -lameopts fast:preset=standard"
store_dir=./converted_files .....
#start the script
main_menu
1. mencoder output: using /dev/null works more or less. for example: if mencoder detects a double frame while converting, a message is still printed on the bash screen
2. progressbar: i have no clue yet on how to do this. any link or tip is welcome.
my goal is something like this:
[56%] [time in progress] [timeleft]
I have tried to convert movie files like I used to on Windows with AnyVideoConverter... I installed WINFF, but it doesnt seem to work with anything. When trying to convert a .mov file, it does something on the terminal and it gives this: Unknow encoder -libxvid- ... and then nothing.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am sitting on over a hundred Disney and other kid's VHS tapes we still have around from when our kids were little. My granddaughter has found them and finds them fantastically entertaining but VHS isn't exactly hardy for a 4 year old to handle. I'm looking to convert them to DVD for both backup and space savings. Cinderella has already bit the dust and I'm paying dearly for it. I have done some research and every bit of information assumes that I would have an idea of what I'm doing.
I do own a DVR but most of them won't copy for copy protect reasons. As far as I can tell the only way I can convert them is by going from analog VHS to digital DVD. Now, I have no clue how to do this nor what hardware I would need if any to do this.
I'm trying to make a copy of my Blu-Ray movies on DVD-R so I can play them on my DVD player. The movies have been ripped to my HDD and the HD audio extracted. So I'm left with one video stream and one audio stream (either DTS or AC3) in a single m2ts file. I've tried to use mencoder with the same command that I use to convert DVB HD broadcasts to DVD compliant mpeg files as so:
Code:
mencoder -oac copy -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:tsaf -vf scale=720:576,harddup -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=4500:keyint=15:vstrict=0:aspect=16/9 -ofps 25 -o newfile.mpg 00520.m2ts
[Code]...
Is there something wrong with my mencoder command, or is there perhaps a better way of attacking this. I've spent a fair bit of time looking for a solution to this and there seems to very little information around. I would have thought this would be quite a common thing to try and do?

Ubuntu 10.4
I have several files (DVDs, flv, mpeg, mp4...) that I'd like to watch on my Android phone (HTC Tattoo) that supports H264 and my other phone that supports 3GP.
INstalled Handbrake - does not have a 3GP option; mp4 will play audio but not video on Tattoo.
Installed Transmageddon - complains that cannot find the plugin although I click OK on download
Installed WinFF - complains no encoder.
I'm missing something from my packages but what? And where to get it?
I have a video on DVD disk. It is split into 4 parts with file extension VOB. The total time is ~90 mins. In the fourth part I need just the 4:53 first minutes.
I would like to append the 3 parts and the 4:53 first minutes of the fourth part together without lessening the quality and to convert them into AVI.
How can I do it?
I'm trying to convert a screencast of RecordMyDesktop, from .ogv to .avi. I want to upload this video to ....., but the problem that i found is: When the convertion with mencoder is finished; the video resultant is longer that the original, the original video has 13:01 min and the converted video have 39:00, in wich only up to the minute 13:01 is reproducible. And when I use Arista Transcoder, and convert the video to mp4 for example. The video resultant is normal, but when it's uploaded to , in the sound is ruined.

I'm tyring to convert the 3gp format that my droid likes to avi format which is more recognizable (like on my xbmc black xbox) I'm doing this conversion using memcoder and this script I wrote.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
_Working()
{
_INPUTFILE=$file
[Code].....
And that makes for low quality and skipping up movies. basically I want to take the 3gp and convert to avi with leaving as much of the playback alone as possible. What is a better way to convert these files? How can I prevent these skipped frames? What would be the memcoder switches line to retain as much quality as possible while converting the files to avi?
I could not watch films or listen to the music.

I like this linux distribution more than the others that i have used, because is more stable for my work. But there are some little problems that I can't solve. I'm using it with a laptop HP G60 and i can run OpenOffice, Mozilla and some other programs (python, grass, qgis) that used for work at the office, but when I go home and want to watch a movie with my girl, listen some music or any other simple task, i find a lot of little problems:
1. Adjust the bright of the screen, the Power Management Guidance don't do it and I really need it.
2. Can't play movies in VLC "No suitable decoder module. VLC does not support the audio or video format XVID. Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this"
3. And today I can't play music because there is a message "KDE detected that one or more internal sound devices were removed" this is: Output HDA Intel, INTEL HDMI 0 (HDMI Audio Output)
I know maybe these problems are stupid but in windows is easier to fix them. I'm tired of search in google because i just find solved problems for Ubuntu and it takes a lot of time.
