Installing libdvdcss2 and w32 video codecs in Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon

Support for WMV, RealMedia and other formats has been bundled into the w32codecs package. This package is not available from the Ubuntu repositories due to licensing and legal restrictions.

For Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon Users run the following command

sudo wget *www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

Now you need to copy the key using the following command

wget -q *packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Update the source list using the following command

sudo apt-get update

Install Codecs using the following command

sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2

Using above download locations you can install most of the mutimedia codecs for ubuntu.

sudo apt-get update

Mplayer Plugin for Firefox

If you want to install Mplayer with plug-in for Mozilla Firefox run the following command

sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer

.

I did all hat now Totem play .rm files but Mplayer and VLC did not Mplayer says fail to ope /location

 

[praka123]

in mplayer,u have to rightclick preferences>select audio=alsa,video=xv and now go to codecs and demuxer option.there try setting video codec=win32xx option.save and restart

now open a terminal and run:
"gmplayer /directorywherefileresides/dsdsds.rmvb" to see whether it works and also if it errs,look at terminal for more details.

for Xine,U have to do the same,but u have select "master of the universe" option to customize.

 

[Rahim]

[praka123]
