Hi ziok
You need to install "gstreamer-ffmpeg" comes with rpmfusion. Get the 'rpmfusion' repo and install using 'yum' or whatever your OS uses as an installer.

Hi...

Welcome to the forum

If Robert's suggestion above doesn't work for some reason, you can download this package (and any required dependencies) here (for 32 bit) or here (for 64 bit.)

As said, you need the codecs from RPMfusion. But you must read these pages
https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalRe...s/Repositories
https://wiki.centos.org/PackageManag...Yum/Priorities
and follow their advice. If you don't, the new repository may overwrite some of the CentOS libraries!

It might be a good idea to update to the latest version of CentOS first.

centos 6.4

you are going to have a hell of a time installing anything
it is 3 versions OUT OF DATE
the centos 6.4 software repos were deprecated a LONG TIME AGO
and it is 2 years OUT OF DATE!!!

missing 2 years of security updates
and the 6.4 repos are no longer at the address in the repo files

they were moved to the historical archive 2 years ago

install the current and ONLY supported version in the older 6 series
CentOS 6.7
or
the current CentOS 7.1
