Ubuntu Multimedia :: Unable To Play A VC-1 Encoded MKV Movie In Vlc
Jun 4, 2010
I am currently trying to play a VC-1 encoded MKV-file under Linux (Ubuntu 10 / latest Mint, both are affected), but VLC reports that it isn't able to decode WVC-1. VLC is able to play this file under Fedora 13, OS X and Windows, while both mplayer and ffplay are able to play this movie under Ubuntu 10 and Linux Mint.
I made two log files that where previously posted on the VLC forum, where I was told that it looks like there is a problem with the avcodec. I have basic experience with compiling stuff, but my knowledge of C++ and the linux internals is close to null. Which packages do I need to build from source in order recreate avcodec and its dpendendcies?
Link to error log running Ubuntu 10 and latest "Linux Mint" (reinstalled multiple times):[url]
Link to log running Fedora13 (works, but I prefer debian based linux):[url]
And last but not least a link to my thread on the VLC board:[url]

I am not able to get the video in the iTunes movie trailer website to play. iTunes Movie Trailers.When I try to play a video an error message comes up as something like: PackageKit.gstreamer.plugin not able to find H.264 decoder.This has been discussed in a previous post: H.264 Codec & Mplayer.I have also done some reading and the gstreamer-plugin-bad package has ah H.264 parser, but does that also decode?I have updated my packages to the Packman repo: URL... tried installing and activating both the VLC and MPlayer plug-ins for firefox and am running Firefox 3.6.10 in an up-to-date OpenSuse 11.3 with Gnome

I cannot play encoded dvds, or access the menu options of dvds with menus.1. My dvd drive appears to work fine. It can play anything else i put in it.2. I have enabled Restricted Formats and Medibuntu. Both are fine.3. I have installed libdvdcss2 and libdvdread4. Both are fine.4. I have installed VLC. It can see the tracks on the disk but cycles through them without playing anything.5. I have Gnome MPlayer. It can see the tracks on the disk, but not open the menu screen. It can even play tracks on the disk, but only from 25 minutes into the track and onwards. (?!?) The image and audio work fine so it can obviously read the data, but it can't manage the menu and finding the first 25 minutes of each track.. Everything is up to date. Nothing appears broken.I have been using Ubuntu for 3 years now and have challenged many Windows friends to change. Some have. But without a dvd player... That's going to be like selling a three-wheeled car.

I've just updated to 10.04 and found out that I can't play original DVDs. Movie Player gives me error message "Could not read from resource" and VLC just ignores all attempts to play the DVD.

When I put a DVD in my PC (any DVD), it recognizes the DVD and even tells me the title of the movie (for example, it knows that I put Cat People in the DVD drive). But then it gives an error message, "An error occurred. Could not read from resource." I have Ubuntu 9.10 on a HP Pavilion ZE4900 laptop.

When I insert a movie DVD into the drive, the disk is read, a window pops up asking what software do I want to use (Open Movie Player is the default). I click use Open Movie Player and get "An error occurred could not read from resource" dialog - and the movie does not play.The file manager reads the disk without any problem, so don't think it's a bad disk (and it plays in my WinXP machine). I checked in Synaptic and it appears that Totem and all the stuff that needs to be installed with Totem is there. Is there another player or some front end for totem that I don't have? In that initial screen asking for software choice, totem is not an optio n.I've looked around in Medibuntu and it looks like all the needed files are already installed. Is there a different DVD player that needs to be installed?

This may be a stupid question, but with Movie Player, how do I play a video_ts video? In VLC under media it has the option to open a directory, which is self explanatory that the video_ts option falls under. What about Movie Player?

I'm running to 11.04 and I can't seem to get the file to play sound. I've tried others and none seem to work. I've tried downloading all sorts of codecs but either not the right ones or just not doing something right...

I'm hoping someone may be able to help me; I have done a complete new install of Mythbuntu 11.04 on an IBM T400, only OS on a formatted drive.
I have not changed any settings on the Backend, only loaded a few Music, Photos & Videos to the /var/lib/mythtv/music & pictures & video directories.
Photos & music functionality is 100%
The problem I'm having is with the "Watch Video" option; the test videos I have loaded to /var/lib/mythtv/videos directory, show up in the Watch Video section, all the information on each movie is displayed (looks great), it gives me the option to "Play" the video, but when I select play, nothing happens.
If I close the "Frontend" and open the same movies with VLC the work perfectly

I can't play movies when I have browsers open. I am not sure if it is the browser, or what. I ran totem, and vlc in a terminal, and it says insufficient resources when I try to open a movie (see snapshot).
I also took a snapshot of my system monitor. I am not sure what resources it is talking about?

I have a lot of .ogv and .mpg files. Most of the .ogv files won't play, and none of the .mpg files will play, in Totem. I installed VLC media player and all the files will play in it. If I click on file properties in Nautilus for the files that won't play, it says "Creating Properties window. You can stop this operating by clicking cancel." But it never actually shows me the file properties.

Anyone know a working movie player? I can't use Movie Player to play my movie because it's talking about plugin BS. Now I try loading the disc with VLC media Player and the crap just closes out.

I am having a problem when using Flash. Whenever I am listening to a Flash application (..... primarily), I am unable to hear sound from any other applications (Rhythmbox, movie player, etc).
The converse is also true, if I am using Rhythmbox, and then start ....., the video plays...but with no sound. I have to manually kill the app and web browser (tried multiple...Firefox, Chrome, Swiftfox) to get sounds working correctly. I am my wits end with this problem, and have just putting up with it for several months now.

Recently pulled the plug on Windows 7 and changed completely to Linux. Don't regret it for a second and I will now stay Linux for the long haul. Just a couple of issues have emerged though....
1) All dvd's I have tried so far, do not play in Movie Player. Error message was:Location not found. (dvd file name does appear in play list though it does not play....I have let it search for plug ins and updates but the return was: Plug in not found (though it does not say what plug in was not found....which I hoped it might then I might know what it was...).
2) Vodafone MBB K3570-Z doesn't want to play ball either. Noticed no install message, not even as a recognised usb device.Looked at similar posts and tried editing, deleting and retrying. Ensured the user, password, APN, were all properly edited, but not a peep out of it.Also selected mobile broadband in network settings. But no connection at all. Also tried the usbmodeswitch too.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 64bit. I just bought the Zotac Geforce GT 430. I downloaded and installed the driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.21.run. (from nvidia.com)
Everything seems alright except that I can only see black video when I play any kind of movie (avi, mkv, mov, ..) while the sound is still playing.
Previously, I could watch any movie well with the onboard graphic card. My mainboard is Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2V.

I'm able to open DVD data discs, it's just playing DVD movies which is the problem now.
I've followed the official ubuntu guide on this and it hasn't worked. Even with all the numerous posts regarding the matter I'm still unable to find a fix.
Thus I'm posting here. If I can't get this to work I'm fooking back off to Windows because I've wasted far too many hours as it is.
I'm running P4 2.4 Ghz, NEC 2500a DVD-RW drive. I've also got two other DVD drives, a Pioneer slot drive which I get the exact same problem and another one which I haven't tested yet as it appears to be a software problem.
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
