HOWTO: Win32 Video Codecs

[agenkin]

How much of this HOWTO is still relevant for the Ubuntu Edgy, 1 year past the article was written?

Thanks!

Is there any quick and easy way without needing
a billion files using apt-get to just
add XviD video codec and MP3 sound codec
to Ubuntu Linux without using these AIO codec packs ?

Or am I asking the impossible ?

On Windows I have a small XviD Codec install file
which gets me up and running and I use Portable MPC
to play back the files

What about .mp4 .m4v .flv...

Have a look here:

Check under:
Install libdvdcss2 and w32 video codecs in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)

Or, whack a disk in your machine and try to play an audio file (windows anything or quicktime). You'll be asked if you want to install the appropriate codecs.

Congratulations, now you can open wma, wmv, and avi files by using Totem and Xine!


NOTE: It seems wmv9 don't work with my HOWTO if you use Ubuntu 64bit.

Ok..some problem remain.. files *.wma even in rhytmbox play "NOPROBLEM"..BUT!!! Some *.wma -refuse!!! How can I play these files? May I send "good" and "bad" files to you ?
