In my debian system ,I installed w32codecs and it make all my players like Kaffeine,Totem,mplayer and so on play all the formats such as rm rmvb wav.
But in Mandriva I found the equal software win32-codecs,it can not extend the vedio formats the palyer originally support.

So I want to know how can I change the settings to make my players play more formats?Or install other packages?

I experienced the same problem with Kaffeine being able to play these files in Debian with w32codecs

and not in Mandriva with the same codecs. I tried to uninstall / reinstall thinking Kaffeine will

"see' the w32codecs. It didn't. I installed mplayer and everything worked.. Urpmi mplayer/mplayer gui

and you will be done.

cheers

what's wrong??

I make it.I download the package libxvid4-1.1.0-0.beta2.0.1.102plf.i586.rpm,and then move it to the directory var/cache/urpmi/rpms/
then run the command urpmi ,it goes well.
