I am new to Ubuntu, so forgive me if my verbiage is incorrect here and there. Also, I am not a programmer, so I don't have or know of other tricks. I am just trying to get my small Ubuntu station to play AVI files.
I found that by simply opening the through the menu Applications>Sound and Video> Mplayer, the software opens fine. Then by right-clicking on the video window and entering the PROPERTIES menu, I can alter the video decoder (on the VIDEO tab). The first option, is the default, and it states that it will use this file that does not open. Change the video decoder, close the application, then reopen it (so the settings become perminant), the video files open fine. The trick is finding the decoder that makes the video function the best. I think the 3rd one in the list worked best for me, or the OPENGL ones also work well with a good video card that supports openGL. -- MPlayer fails to render subtitles with multiple character sets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124017 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
