Can't play any DVD movies or .wmv, .mpeg, .mpg videos in Fedora 11
This is definitely faster and less resource intensive, but I can't play any DVD movies or .wmv, .mpeg, .mpg videos or anything for that matter. Does anyone have a solution for this. I'm also not thrilled with the fact that all the workspaces have to to have the same background. Can someone help please?

Did you install the restricted codecs and whatnot for multimedia?

Don't know that I've ever tried wmv's, so can't help you there. I guess they are proprietary Windows.
I have a feeling ffmpeg may work though if you want to try that.

Also take a look at mplayer - I think it is in RPMFusion - it plays just about anything you can reasonably want to, including .wmv.

also if you download the latest version of xinelib from the its home site you can build your own rpm from that. That would give you most of the codecs your looking for. once you have the Tar just su to root and type rpmbuild -ta [name of tar].
