I'm trying to play a HD video file, the command to play the video is:

mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau

And the error I get is:

[mkv] Track ID 1: video (V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC), -vid 0 [mkv] Track ID 2: audio (A_AC3), -aid 0, -alang und [mkv] Will play video track 1. Detected file format: Matroska VIDEO: [avc1] 1280x720 24bpp 23.976 fps 0.0 kbps ( 0.0 kbyte/s) Load subtitles in . SUB: Could no

I'm try to run HD video, the command to run the video is:

mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau

And the error I get is:

[mkv] Track ID 1: video (V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC), -vid 0 [mkv] Track ID 2: audio (A_AC3), -aid 0, -alang und [mkv] Will play video track 1. Detected file format: Matroska VIDEO: [avc1] 1280x720 24bpp 23.976 fps 0.0 kbps ( 0.0 kbyte/s) Load subtitles in . SUB: Could not determine

Is there any chance I can load binary codecs on 64bit arch linux ? I have few .dat files that works great under 32bit windows xp, with smplayer (after downloading codecs), but on 64bit Linux, I got twisted image.

I downloaded all binary codecs for win32 here,

And essential elf64 libs here

Both archive was extracted to /usr/lib/codecs

From output of strace, seems /usr/lib/codecs wasn't loaded.

AVI File & MPlayer 3 years 36 weeks ago

I have the struggle when trying to play avi file . I left-click the avi file (MPlayer is run as default); and I have the fatal error report:

FATAL: Could not initialize video filters (-vf) or video output (-vo)

It seems MPlayer is the default player in my env Fedora11 KDE. When I do the same with others formats (mp3, mpeg, etc) , MPayer works well.

MPlayer is a very common tool in the Linux world, it is usually used for watching videos or running audios. However, MPlayer has many more features and options.

Mplayer is a marvellous media player. Not just the fact that it can play almost all audio/video formats, it even provides you with a powerful command line. You can handle every feature of Mplayer through the terminal.

Mplayer GUI not working 51 weeks 22 hours ago

I've been using mplayer for a long time with several distros, and I like it.

All,

I had no problems playing video with F17, but after a fedup upgrade to F18, no video playback or DVD play with mplayer.
