Please DO NOT turn this thread to a question answer thread ! Open new threads for support queries.

@rohan: Why u want to do that?? this is intended to be a sticky because it helps people and queries can be placed on one place. If queries have to be posted in some other place/thread, why sticky this thread??

Besides ppl also learn from the problems others face, so this is the rightful place for all queries related to multimedia in Linux.

That's a nice idea @Satissh. Yes we should add info about other distros like Gentoo,
Mandriva Linux etc., That would definitely help all the guys using Linux.

@rohandhruva be kind yaar......neways @gary4gar......u may google for that codec . There's another codec pack names something like "essential or all -codecs".
I can play all the formats. I think u havent installed win32codec pack properly! check that out first!

 

[gary4gar]

i have installed win 32 codecs using easy ubuntu. aslo i found links for windows(.exe) but not for linux what to do??

 

[rohandhruva]

I am not being rude or anything - fact is, when people would read the topic, and first post, they would not really bother to read further, basically in a sticky people dont.. So, if you start a new thread for the same purpose, it can be easily discussed further in the post. This is a reference to enable multimedia ..

Anyway, I am not gonna request lock or anything .. if my reasoning given above is not correct, then I am wrong ofcourse

@rohandhruva.....thats better......but i give u a simple reason for not openeing separate threads!! U see a thread which is being responded extensively remains on top of others.....U must have observed that!!...havnt u??
So if u use different threads then some may dissappear in the long list of queue this forum has. I hope u got my point. So its better to have one thread !!
No multithreading here....hehe!

@gary4gar......u installed the win32codec rpm na?? neways install essentialcodec rpm too! If still things dont go ur way....google for that ugly codec!!
