Codec problem (xine, kafffine, etc)
 
Hi,

I would like to play the mpg files from my canon s50.
Xine tells me that I need a special codec - where can I find this, and how do I install them?

Thanks

Use the file command or tcprobe to indicate what kind of movie it is. It may be an .avi file using a DivX codec.
Here is a link to the "divx4linux" home page:
http://www.divx-digest.com/software/...dec_linux.html

Also, check if you have a win32codec package that you can install. If not, google for the terms "divx daily build"

The infomation I found on the web indicates that the camera produces either AVI or WAVE movies. I'm not familiar what kind of video a WAVE file is.

Codec
 
I think there is windows dll codec on Xine website. Its bundled in a compressed file. Check it out , its been months since i last went there. Not sure about now. Anyway , all the best.

Which distro do you have? Is it 64 bit?

Hi,

I found the solution to be added the packman resource and then running a system update :-)

thanks.
