I just installed debian,I dont know what happend exactly,all the video files which can be opend in vlc player of xp,could not be opend(played)
in the vlc player of linux. I took it to be some installation problem and i re-installed the player, even though there is no use,seeing this i later installed the Mplayer even that doesnot played any video files. ofcourse i m getting the audio but there is no video the error i get is |
if i press ok in the above screen shot .I m getting audio but there is no video.this is the same case with the vlc player.
|
I don't have any .mkv files myself.
Can you post a link to them and i will see if i can get them to play. |
not only mkv it's the case with .flv also.how ever it is playing in smplayer but with very high brightness,and i dont find any clue to reduce the brightness
|
It would appear VLC should be able to play mkv files:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html Also if you are trying Mplayer did you install the codecs package? |
Yes vlc should play .mkv files (that is it can do that in windows) and i played some files mkv in ubuntu(vlc) i dont know what is wrong.how to install the .mkv codecs in Mplayer
|
mplayer -vo=xv file.mkv
|
So can you point me in the direction of some mkv files?
|

Well i just downloaded an mkv clip from 'transformers'.
Plays just fine with VLC here. Do you have graphics drivers installed? |
how to install the graphic drivers
|
and if it is the graphic drivers thing then how can smplayer do the job

But in the past i have found that Vlc will play dvd's even using the vesa driver. If smplayer works for you use that! |
In the VLC player, in the menu "Tools...Preferences...Video...", make sure that the "Enable Video" is ticked.
Also, you might have to play around with the drop-down menu for Output. The options there are something like: X11, OpenGL, etc. This is the selection area for output. Some may perform better, or in your case, not at all. X11 is a good, safe bet. And, has worked for me in the past. |
I have just found how to adjust brightness with VLC:
Click on 'tools' then go to 'extended settings' Click on the video effects tab. Check the box 'image adjust' You can then move the brightness slide. Bare in mind that i'm using a different version of Vlc than you are in Stable. It may be different in your version. |
Thanks to all of u,i dont know why vlc is not working,ok what ever it is i am happy now with smplayer since igot the adjustment with brightness
Once again thank u guys u all r really rocking |
Interesting.. I get the same result on this PC, Works in smplayer, but not in mplayer or VLC.
this machine is using the 'ati' video driver. I'll have to try at home and see what happens. |
