mplayer // I am only getting audio for .mov files
I am using RedHat 9. I recently installed mplayer via apt-get. It is working great for mpeg video files.
I am trying to watch .mov Quicktime files from Gamespot.com but I am only getting the audio. I downloaded the quicktime codec stuff from the mplayer homepage but I have no idea where the files go. Any ideas? |
how about some error messages / mplayer output...
have you actually recompiled mplayer with qt support? you can't just add it in as and when, it's linked at compile time. check the ./configure output from mplayer before you recompile to get it going right. |
Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x33515653
That's the message I get but it does start up with the audio before I even click OK on the error box. |
I got it!
The DLLs I downloaded from mplayerhq.hu just needed to be dropped in the right folder.
/usr/lib/win32 After I dropped the DLLs in the folder it worked great. The picture is 10 times better than the Quicktime for windows or the Mac. A little trouble getting it running, but once you get it, it is sweet. |
hey thats almost the same problem im having...
I think I will uninstall mplayer and retry from source since mine doesnt work at all....wotn play anything....no audio no video NOTHING how do I completely uninstall it? I installed it from .rpm by the way |
If u're using mandrake simply go to run and type 'kpackage' and
it will be straightforward to use. Otherwise: 1. Type rpm --query mplayer 2. See the output [something like 'mplayer-0.90XXX' 3. Type rpm --erase mplayer-0.90XXX [whatever u saw in step2] Should work. |
.mov = Quicktime movies
new Quicktime movies use the Sorenson codec. Please see http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=76959 for further details. |
