Converting Flash videos in Ubuntu (figure)

Article Title: how to play Flash videos (images) In Ubuntu ). Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

In the popular music mvfile that we usually see on the Internet, there is a Flash video with the extension of .swf. This type of video often requires a dedicated flash player. There are many flash players available in Ubuntu. Here we will introduce the two most commonly used Flash playing software, namely the official Adobe Flash Player and the open-source Swfdec, to help you play Flash videos. This article describes how to use Ubuntu Desktop 9.04.

Play Flash videos with Adobe Flash Player

Because Adobe Flash Player is non-open source software and subject to Adobe copyright restrictions, most Linux releases do not provide Flash-related software packages by default. Therefore, in the Ubuntu system, to play the Flash Animation normally, you must manually install the corresponding software package, including the Flash plug-in supporting the Firefox browser and Flash Standalone Player (a separate Flash Player ).

After the Ubuntu system is installed, run the Firefox browser for the first time. When you visit a website using flash technology, the browser prompts you to install the corresponding plug-in for normal browsing. There are two ways to install the Flash plug-in for the Firefox browser: one is to click the Flash Object area in the Firefox browser, and the system automatically searches for available Flash plug-ins, the Flash plug-in installation window appears. The Flash plug-ins that support Firefox are listed in the window, including Adobe Flash Player, Swfdec player for Adobe/Macromedia flash, and Gnash SWF Player, select "Adobe Flash Player" to install the Adobe Flash browser plug-in.

The second method is from Adobe Official Website. In the GNOME integrated desktop environment, double-click the install_flash_player_10_linux.deb file downloaded to automatically call the GDebi graphical installer for installation.

The independent Adobe Flash Player is included in the Flash Player developer version, the latest Flash Developer version of the Installation File: linux_dev.tar.gz "> http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/10/flash_player_10_linux_dev.tar.gz

Decompress the inventory file, go to the flash_player_10_linux_dev/standalone/releasedirectory, decompress flashplayer.tar.gz, and generate the flashplayer file in the release directory. This is a binary executable file. Enter the command./flashplayer to run Adobe Flash players.

Adobe Flash Player and corresponding browser plug-ins are officially released by Adobe. When using the latest software to play swf files, both the video screen and sound are smooth. However, when "system monitor" is used to monitor the system resource usage during playback of swf files, it is found that the CPU usage has reached more than 95%, which consumes a lot of system resources!

Use Swfdec Flash Player To Play Flash videos

Swfdec is an open-source Flash Player Library released in the form of LGPL protocol. It uses the libart library to render Flash Animation and GStreamer engine to play Flash animation. Swfdec includes the independent Flash Player swfdec-gnome and the browser plug-in swfdec-mozilla.

 1. Install Swfdec Software

Swfdec software is not installed in Ubuntu by default. If the current system is connected to the Internet, we use the new software package manager to install the software. Open the new software package manager window. Click "Search" on the toolbar of the window and enter the keyword "swfdec" in the "Search" dialog box. The search result is displayed in the list of installable software packages. Select and install the "swfdec-gnome" and "swfdec-mozilla" software packages.

The current version of swfdec-gnome is 2.26.0. After the installation is complete, find the "Swfdec Flash Player" item in the menu "application"> "audio and video", and click this item to run the Swfdec Flash Player (). In addition, we can also download the latest software installation package from Swfdec's official site http://swfdec.freedesktop.org.
