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?
Thanks for your help. I can now play DVDs,.mpg and .mpeg. Still not able to play .wmv but three out of four isn't bad. Thanks again for your gracious help.
Distribution: Currently Suse 11.1 but have RH7,8,9 / Fedora 7,8_64,9_64,&10_64

Rep:
i had all that working with the win32 codecs installed in usr/lib/win32
search software installer for " xine " grab the player and all " extra codecs " pkgs
i like kaffiene as a player myself with the xine backend
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].
