Help! Can't play AVI movie in Linux (Voxware decoder needed)

any ANONYMOUS forum user · #1 01-25-2010, 04:49 AM

I can't play my AVI movie in Linux since it needs Voxware decoder.
The video itself is shown just fine, but I can't hear any sound.

I tried Totem, VLC and SMPlayer to no avail. I also tried to install gstreamer, ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs from Mediabuntu, but wasn't able to solve my problem....

please help me

w32codecs from MediaBuntu should allow you to play your video with MPlayer. Try to launch mplayer from the terminal:

Code:

mplayer /home/user/Videos/samle.avi

You should see something like

Code:
