Running .avi files in redhat9
Hello
I need to know if th default packages in RH9 run .avi files... as i am unsucessful in running them...... if there is any player that can play and where to download it... please do tell me..... :jawa: |
Yes, there are many players for Linux but I think you are missing a codec (your .avi file must be encoded in some way - mpeg, for example). You might already have a player, I think RH whould come with a player of some sort.
Here are some links (and do not forget to get the codecs too): Mplayer http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/news.html Xine http://xinehq.de/ Here is a list of various open source software (including video soft) http://www.chlug.org/oss_equiv.php in case you need some more http://www.exploits.org/v4l/ Good luck! |
Hi
When I installed redhat9 the same happened to me. What I did was download and compile mplayer. Very easy to do: ./configure make make install (as root) Mplayer is very simple and fast. It runs from a command line but has lots of commands to control things. Plays mp3, mpeg, avi, wma, wmv and some more. Oh, quality with wmv is not so good though. Have luck! |
...just wanted to mention that Mplayer has a nice GUI frontend too, it is called gmplayer. You can find out all about it on the mplayers website, but I would recomend you look for rpm (specific to you particular distribution) on rpm site, for example:
http://rpmseek.com/index.html?hl=com http://rpm.pbone.net/ One can also download plugins and skins for mplayer so that it looks slick and can do more. :-) |
hi
to compile hmpalyer with gui support(gmaplyer) u ne to configure itas ./configure -enable-gui --datadir=/usr/local make make-install then install the default fonts and skins in /usr/local/skin and font directory and run gmplayer |
Ok guys will try this all
I am downloading the rpm package for the mplayer so i guess i will not have to usethe make file option if i stil have to use the make file option please do tell me.... as i recently loaded a ui component that automatically loads the rpm file when we show the file path... but in general where do the destination file get loaded is still a mystery to me... if anyione can help ,me regarding that please tell ,me so............. :jawa: |
hi there
in REDHAT u have a UI,u just Dbl click on rpm package and the installation starts by itself also what destination r u talking about regards |
Well when we install a package using say
>rpm -ivh /filepath&name.rpm where is it getting installed????? |
hi there
if u r installing a system apckage(i.e.a package from the cd,then the lib goes in /lib,/usr/lib and likewise othere exe go in /bin,/sbin, /usr/bin if u r installing a difent rpm then it usually goes in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/bin if u want to find the location of a file then run updatedb (will take some time) then locate filename regards |
