I'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 to convert H 264 mp4 to avi with xvid?I have a file (300mb) containing a video encoded as h264 mp4. It runs on movie player, but I want to run on the tv using a (fairly modern) dvd player that accepts avi xVid as input from cd or usb.How do I convert from h264 mp4 to avi(xvid)?
I 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.
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."
I pre-upgraded a working F14 system which was reading MPEG4 xvid (xvidcore rpm). Since the upgrade gstreamer refuses to handle that stream: ** Message: don't know how to handle video/x-xvid.It seems the codec is not registered with gstreamer.
I use Fedora 10.Whenever i try to open an avi file with VLC player I get the error 'No suitable decoder module for fourcc XVID'.How can I remove this error?
I 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 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.
#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 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.
i have this-for me huge problem- xfce4-xkb-plugin won�t save my keyboard setup and it won�t show after startup in xfce4 panel (xubuntu 9.10): I did this:
1) i added in /etc/default/console-setup needed keyboard layouts (de,hr,rs)-because i know that after restart xfce4-xkb-plugin will not memorize my layouts.
While using Rhythmbox this morning, I was greeted by a blunt and undiscriptive error message:
Code:
Plugin Error:Unable to activate plugin Cover Art.Going to the plugin page, I was supprised to find that most of the installed plugins would not load. Without any info being offered in the player, I looked on line. Many people had problems with other plugins, and most of the time it was a problem with an uninstalled python package. But I checked on this site and I found that I had all of these packages installed. (Well, the python ones at least, to check all of them would take forever.)

After finding no help there, I ran rhythmbox -d to debug:

I am using openSUSE 11.0. This OS installation gives firefox 3.0.5 Beta. I had installed new version of firefox at /usr/local/bin/firefox. I had placed link of this firefox at /usr/bin using this command ->
Code:
linux-snvz:/usr/bin # ln -s /usr/local/bin/firefox/firefox firefox My older firefox contains the flush plugin. So i can easily played ..... video's in my browser. But now my new browser saying that it doesn't have flash plugin. I was tried to install flash plugin once again.
[Code]...
Even after installation also my browser is again without flash plugin.
I have just installed the newest version of ubuntu (10.10 the maverick meerkat) and im struggling installing any programs, wine and vlc arnt appearing on synaptic package manager and anything i try to do in either the command promt or ubuntu software centre doesnt work either. On the command promt when i follow the commands as seen on various tutourials the command promt comes back with an error. VLC example given below.
In my frustration to get adobe flash working in firefox I deleted the /usr/lib/flash-plugin folder. Now when I try to uninstall "Flash-Plugin" from YAST it fails as it can't find the sub-folder. I also cannot install the latest version of flash player as it says that it is already installed - So I am stuck in a loop.
I am running SUSE 11.2.
Is there a config file of installed programs that I can modify to remove the "Flash-Plugin" entry, or is there another way to get over this problem.
Yesterday I wasn't able to successful enable JRE in my firefox.This is what I did ,
I downloaded the rpm from the file and installed it in /usr/java Code: chmod a+x jre-6u<version>-linux-i586-rpm.bin./jre-6u<version>-linux-i586-rpm.bin This successfully installed Firefox JRE in my system now in order to make firefox know abt it
I went to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and Code: ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_24/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so as said in the instruction manual. Still firefox isn't able to recognise the plugin.
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.
When I use firefox, I accumulate multiple plugin-container processes, typically one of them sits around hanging onto well over 200 MB of RAM. I think this happens when I watch flash videos. Does simply having a flash app on a web page cause a plugin-container process to be created? Will they ever go away without my explicitly killing them or closing firefox? If they stay around, do they ever free any RAM?
On an new Ubuntu 9.10 installation, I chose the wrong flash player to run with Firefox. It's the gnash one. I should take the Adobe one. How do I remove it, so Firefox will see the plugin's not there and then prompt me for a new plugin?
I've got Pidgin 2.4.1 on my Hardy computer, and I got the 'Off The Record' plugin working with no problems: I went to Tools > Plugins, found 'Off The Record' in the list of plugins and checked the box - and now OTR works.On my Jaunty machine I've got Pidgin 2.5.5 installed - and I can't find the OTR plugin! I go to Tools > Plugins and look through the list, but OTR isn't there!
A question from a true beginner - I want to watch clips but in order to do that i need WMP plugin - a popup with 3 additional plugins appeared, I chose 1 of them not knowing which is the right one... no success. I hoped to see the other 2 on next boot up but to no avail.
