FC12/ X86_64

Where can Codecs for VLC be downloaded for playing DVD videos ?

I have the X86_64 VLC and libdvdcss RPMs installed.

I downloaded essential-amd64-20071007.tar.bz2 from MplayerHq.hu , but it only has only three *.so files in it. Which does not seem right.

Can someone get me going in the right direction on Getting my x86_64 box playing DVD videos

Have you enabled the rpm-fusion repositories? They contain many codecs with copyright/patent encumbrances and video/sound programs which use them. (The Fedora project policy prohibits making any encumbered items available in their repositories.)

Yes I have, I have VLC playing some video cd's and running VLC from command line I get some errors;

There is no error messages in /var/log/messages

I was just looking at the latest FWN issue, and they mentioned that the Omega (Boxer) F12 remix is available.

are those not libdvdread or libdvdcss issues?

what is the output if you rum mplayer dvd:// from a terminal?

I don't have Mplayer installed.

Here's a link to a very easy way to get your Fedora audio/video extras installed Autoten ,been using it for several releases now.

Thanks Ryptyde, That is a very handy site for installing extras.
