HOWTO: MPlayer

[ixus_123]

worked great for me, thanks. Only grip is I now have to install Mplayer-mozilla plug in by hand also

[wallijonn]

what? where?

On the left side of the SPM window change it to status view. You should find a local installed subheading.

What does line 58 of the shell script say?

Ackbar,

In your case you may wish to download & install the "all" codecs package instead of the "essential" codecs package. It have what you are looking for.

apoc,
You'd probably have to do it the hard way and copy the skin to the default folder. I've not had that problem with my skin. Is there a "set to default" button? (I'm on W2KP right now so I can't fire up Ubuntu).

Hey im having that problem too!!

mencoder says

Audio format 0x4134504d is incompatible with '-oac copy', please try '-oac pcm' instead or use '-fafmttag' to override it.

when trying to make a chunk of a certain very Hi-Fi video.. im not too sure what thats about...

Yet ive succesfully followed the Install FFmpeg and x264 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS guide (note im on feisty ubuntu 7 64bits but it worked)

i just reinstalled ffmpeg 3 different ways actually, times 1 and 3 like mentionned above, time 2 using option "C" from the Easily enable MP3, MPEG4, AAC, and other restricted encoders in FFmpeg guide (note: found in Enabling Multimedia in Feisty (HOW-TO) how to enable Medibuntu on Feisty)

anyways after each install everything appeared to work but always that problem with "Audio format 0x4134504d"

How can i make my ffmpeg recognize that codec?

-----------------------
ive found a workaround for that problem, making the chunk of the video using ffmpeg with this syntax worked:

ffmpeg -i input.mpg -ss 00:00:10 -t 00:00:30 out1.mpg
