All the people in all the videos I try on my computer (even in vlc) are blue. and so are a bunch of other stuff. I dont know how to fix this. I tried uninstalling the video card drivers and playing the video. Then I reinstalled it. I also tried it in many different media players. I even tried different codec packages.
View 3 RepliesAfter installing all the codecs etc for restricted formats as well as the ATI video card drivers all videos appear very blue. I cannot seem to find anything on here or on the net that would suggest a work around.
This only seems to be the case in VLC, others seem to be OK.
I had to reinstall totem in order to get my firefox plugin to work. Ok. No big deal. But it also updated gstreamer and now my red and blue colors are swapped. I have heard about this happening with a change in gstreamer or nvidia or something. But Im interested if anyone has a fix for this?

Seems when I play streaming video from the browser is when I have this problem. This tends to point to gstreamer. WMVs, MPGs, FLV content is blue!
Here is a screenshot of my desktop with mplayer playing with blue people!
-Ubuntu 10.04 with MPlayer/Smplayer & VLC installed via the repos. -Installed the Ubuntu Restricted Extras package (everything except flash, extra fonts, & java) & w32codec packgae (medibuntu). -Computer in question is 800mhz Celeron, 256MB RAM & one of those basic Intel Integrated Graphics Chip. I'm having problems playing some video files. When trying to play these files with Smplayer, I get a blue screen but can still hear audio (default video output). After switching the video output to x11(slow), I can now see the picture but it's not playable (some video will show maybe one frame every 2 seconds, some video would play for half-a-second then just freeze). This happens mainly with large files (not 100% accurate, but in general files over 300MB).
Mplayer log gives the "Your system is too slow to play this file" & "Bad alloc:insufficient resources" messages. So I'm guessing this is not a codec problem, but a system resources problem? Is there any option, trick, tweaks, etc. I can use to play these problematic files or is it just not possible because of my system specifications? Is there a way I could tell mplayer to play these files with lower bitrates & resolution? Maybe this could reduce the resources needed to play?
when i try to play a video, from internet it is showing the message 'Either javascript turned off or download and install latest adobe flash player'.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI couldn't get .wmv "windows media player" files to run under linux originally, when firefox defaulted to opening them with mplayer. I changed the default to vlc player. Now they can play perfectly, but the color is all blue. Different shades of blue the other colors don't appear.

I can play my music files over one of my work computers via blue tooth. but have been able to do the same with my home ubuntu 10.04 computer. oddly enough.I can connect to the phone and see all the folders on the phone but I cant see any files.also, I can download files to the phone but not up from the phone. am i missing something that enables playback over blue tooth? or is it simply something that windows has zeroed in on that linux hasn't as of yet?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just installed ubuntu on my computer and its been a real good experience until i found that it won't play my videos, do i have to download some sort of codec or plugin (even vlc won't play anything and it usually comes with the codecs pre-installed) i know linux can play my videos i have had them working with my pclinuxos desktop why not ubuntu. i'm using ubuntu 9.04.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI cannot get AVI videos to play with the Totem movie player that comes bundled with Ubuntu 8.04 on the Dell Mini 9. I keep getting: "Could not determine type of stream." Randomly, one or two of the dozen or so videos on my SD card will work, but most will not. This is very frustrating because all the videos I download are always in AVI format.
I tried used the synaptic package manager find an alternative player and tried MPlayer, but that didn't do anything. I'd just get a blank screen on everything. Using the tutorial in this forum, I got GNOME Mplayer, which also didn't work, but even a video that worked with Totem would only play audio with GNOME Mplayer.
I looked in the repository for video codec updates but didn't see any. What do I do? Is there like a Winamp for Linux? This is a total bummer. I just want to play AVI files that are so commonly used for video.
I "think" I have the right apps installed (but obviously not) but I still can't get the videos to play at the following location. Go here [URL].... choose any video and see if it will play for you. I've tried both FF and Chrome .. using 10.04
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have used ubuntu for a long time but always using either a live CD or my Flash stick.
On past Thursday i decided to install ubuntu on my laptop and i did it . It is light and healthy (ha ha). Any way, I would like to play AVI, MKV, RMVB, and MP4 videos but i couldn't. I tried a lot of debian packages and drives (i.e. files with .deb extension) but no result except installing RealPlay that i am using it to play mp3 files only.
can you give me some packages to play those files. (I can't connect my laptop to Internet for the time being). In addition, I have Huawei E1750 USB Modem but the system does not recogize it. Is there any way to play those videos and surf the net using the modem in UBUNTU 10.04 LTS.
A while back I was trying to play videos from the cli without having a GUI installed. I was able to find an app, not sure what the name of it was; however, it used color ASCII characters. It worked but really wasn't what I was looking for.
Does anyone know of an application that can be started from the CLI w/o GUI that will play videos?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIm trying to play some videos with vlc but they are too choppy, I guess my comp is too slow. They are something like 1700x1000 h.264. What can I re-encode these too to maintain good quality but increase playback speed? If possible, an ffmpeg command to do this would be awesome.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working on a presentation using the Beamer Latex class and I would like to embed a video in the presentation. The problem is that I cannot seem to find a PDF viewer that allows me to play these videos. Does anyone have any suggestions for a PDF viewer that does let me play videos, ideally within the PDF? I've tried using Evince and Acrobat Reader 9, but I've had issues with both. Evince doesn't allow you to play embedded videos in the PDF, but it does allow you to open an external media player by clicking a link. However, this doesn't work in presentation mode, which sort of defeats what I'm trying to do. I know a bug report has been filed on Launchpad for this problem, but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
Acrobat 9 also doesn't allow me to play embedded videos. It *does* allow me to open an external player in fullscreen mode, but the video always opens up behind the presentation, which means I have to alt-tab to the video.Kind of unprofessional. I've heard some people have had success with Okular. I'd rather not have to install all the KDE dependencies only to find Okular doesn't work Alternatively, does anyone know of any workarounds for either the issues in Acrobat or in Evince?

Today I installed ATI hd 5450, everything works fine on Windows, but I have trouble with playing videos on Ubuntu. I logged in Ubuntu and there was this bold black line in the bottom of the screen (about 1/4 of the screen in total), I reboot and it was there again, so I installed and activated ATI driver System=>administration=>additional drivers Installed ATI Catalyst driver Reboot and that line was gone, but after a while I noticed that VLC and Movie Player won't play videos, I tried formats like avi, mkv, mp4. There is a sound but no picture. I can play ..... and other videos in browser (Firefox, Chrome). I tried installing a few other video players but it didn't help. I was able to play videos with integrated video card.
i tried to play videos with 3 players, while trying to move the player's window or go to full screen ubuntu crashes.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am unable to play the aforementioned videos. I know for certain mplayer2 supports the 10-bit encode, but whenever I try to play, only a second of audio plays with no video. Instead of video, I get an "Unsupported PixelFormat 72" error. I updated my FFmpeg libraries to 0.8 after that, however nothing has changed and I still get the error. I am currently running Fedora 15.

Display on Ubuntu is not great as compared to Windows 7. Are there any device drivers available for Ubuntu?? Or any other tweak to improve the display?
Also the video playback isn't that great. Videos get stuck once in a while and I also cannot play .MKV videos.
I am using VLC Media Player to play videos.
I recently ran into a problem though. using mav. meerkat I have figured out how to rip dvds using acid rip, medibuntu and some ..... tutorials. Then I tried to put them on my ipod using gtkpod. when this did not work I did some research and realized the video files needed to be converted. At first I tried avidemux, it seemed to work but when i put them on my ipod (video white 80 gb) I tried to play them and the screen just went black and several seconds later was sent back to the menu. Then I tried winnff, but there was no ipod preset only a rockbox ipod preset which I tried with the same result. I then tried openshot using these parameters -ipod libx264 libfaac 1.25 Mbit/s -> 1.5 Mbit/s 128 kbit/sto160 kbit/s Quarter Square NTSC 320x24029.97HzAVCHDQuicktime 7Still same result. I have gotten purchased mp4 videos to work using gtkpod, so I am assuming it is a conversion problem. Also the converted mp4 I made using openshot plays fine on banshee player
