Ubuntu Multimedia :: Use Medibuntu To Install All Codec?

how i use medibuntu to install all codec
free AND NONE FREE
I had my Logitech Webcam/mic working perfectly, in 8.10, but when I upgraded to 9.10, the video stopped working. The camera works in lots of other software,Cheese to luvcview to testing with gstreamer-properties But Skype's video crashes when I try to use the video camera. Usually a segmentation fault.
Lots of other threads here suggest that using the version of skpye packages in medibuntu is the solution. So I added medibuntu to my /etc/apt/sources.list, reloaded to get the latest directories. I don't see any "skype" to install, either in Synaptics or in the shell with apt-get Output from apt-cache search is
# apt-cache search skype
skytools - Database management tools from Skype to PostgreSQL
python-skype - Skype API wrapper for Python
skysentials - extra functionalities for Linux Skype client
skype-mid - Skype for MIDs
p.s. any one have clues as to why this broke going from 9.04 to 9.10?
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.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen you add medibuntu to 10.04, isn't there supposed to be a "medibuntu" sub-category on the left side? I installed the medibuntu repo expecting that I'd find google earth in there. But when I added it, I didn't see it listed there - even after rebooting.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI followed instructions on the medibuntu site for installing the codecs to play .wma files. I checked to make sure the repositories where properly added and they are. I even tried usin VLC player.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI upgraded a machine from 9.10 in the hopes that 10.04 will have fixed the audio problems that were present in the 9.10 installation -- the problem being that I have no audio. When I check the pulseaudio volume meter, it shows audio present in both channels. I've not been able to find anything where a mute button is checked.
Thinking it might be a codec, I tried to reinstall Medibuntu. I get the error message: unable to lock /var/lib/dpkg. Is another process using it. I've done a "ps -ef" looking for a process that might be causing problems, but no luck. I'm using an Intel ICH5 audio board -- if I'm reading everything correctly.
Sorry for the multiple headings, but I thought they might be inter-related. What I'd like: audio playback from an on-line source (Hulu.com). Ideas on how to make that happen will If medibuntu isn't part of the problem, just let that slide by, and I'll post a separate help "request" later.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 (i guess 64 bits), not the Maverick version but the new 10.10. My laptop is Acer Aspire 5715Z.
Now I was on this website and tried to add the repository to get the Medibuntu packages with the following code:
Code:
sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update
[Code].....
Unfortunately, I am stuck running jaunty -- because my company still requires this as our standard OS for our software. I have a computer with a fresh install of 9.04 but of course none of the medibuntu packages. Why did they take down jaunty from the medibuntu repository! Where I can get these packages now? (w32codecs, etc.)

I installed the Ubuntu restricted extras, do I still need to install Medibuntu? What is the difference?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to 10.10. Now I want to install medibuntu. I have the repos added, but when I try to add the key-ring with the terminal it won't add. Can someone give me the command for that again?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently discovered the medibuntu repository and wanted to add the repository to synaptic. I copied and pasted the code from this: [URL] web page on medibuntu.org's website.
The attachment shows exactly what the terminal spit out after running this command (and the command that was run - of course). What I am wondering about is the last six lines - which seem to indicate that, at a minumum, getting some key was not successful. I'm not sure how important this is; but, since I don't actually have anything I need to install from this repository right now, I wanted to be sure I'm squared away for when a time may come in the future.
After running the command I did the following to try and determine the status:
I went into synaptic > settings > repositories and looked under two of the tabs to see what was there:
The tab, "Other Sortware" Lists two entries at the bottom that stood out to me. They are:
Medibuntu - Ubuntu 11.04 "natty narwhal" (http:// packages.medibuntu.org/natty free non free) which was checked.
And:
Medibuntu (Source) - Ubuntu 11.04 "natty narwhal" (http:// packages.medibuntu.org/natty free non free) (Source Code) which was not checked.
The tab, "Authentication" lists a total of three entries. Their descriptions are:
Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key
Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key
And:
Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key
None of those (under this Authentication tab) strike me as having anything to do with medibuntu (could be wrong though - just not sure).
Finally, I did a search in synaptic for a library I think should be available through medibuntu, "libdvdcss." I was presented with a list of eight items, none of them matching libdvdcss by title. The closest match by title and description that I could identify was, "libdvdread4" This I did as a sort of test to see if I might be accessing that repository.
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.
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?
View 2 Replies View Relatedis 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.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I'm trying to play a .mov with the SVQ3 codec, but VLC fails ( 1.0.6 and 1.1.2 ). What media players can play it?
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis 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.
audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lamemp3enc name=enc target=0 quality=0 ! xingmux ! id3v2mux
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'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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis 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.
