Install software decoder

Many people complain that the dapper does not contain w32codecs. As a result, videos such as totem, mplayer, and rhythmbox cannot play RMVB, wmv, or mp3. I think Ubuntu is really difficult to use.

In fact, if a decoder is not installed in windows, it cannot be played, such as RMVB and avi.

Let's talk about how to install various decoders in Ubuntu dapper.

First, install the gstreamer decoder, which is the main multimedia platform promoted by gnome. A major upgrade was made in dapper, Which is 0.10 currently. However, it is not installed completely by default, and mp3 files cannot be played. Therefore, we need to install gstreamer0.10.

Sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10 -*

This statement will install all the gstreamer0.10 packages.

Then we install the xine decoder libxine-extracodecs. xine is another multimedia platform with powerful functions. We also unmount the system's built-in totem and use the xine back-end totem to play videos such as RMVB. By the way, install mplayer, a powerful player, which I usually use to play DVDs. Note that if it is amd CPU, need to install mplayer-k7, of course, you can also directly install mplayer, this is more common.

Sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs totem-xine mplayer-686 ffmpeg lame faad sox m1_tools libxine-main1

Next we will install the famous video decoder w32codecs. This is not included in the dapper source and needs to be downloaded by ourselves.

Wget-cftp: // timeout

After the download is complete, start the installation.

Sudo dpkg-I w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb
