dmzeplin Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 I am not sure how to get it since I have 10.2 RC2.... I downloaded mplayer with gui-mplayer as well but the picture didn't show up and realized that win32codecs not there.... I tried to get it from devel, or other places... but unable to find one... I was puzzled since they provided mplayer but not the win32codecs?? why?? Just curious?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyslexic Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 The win32codecs in plf are incomplete anyway. I just get the complete package from the mplayer site and extract them to /usr/lib/win32. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 dmzeplin: the win32-codecs are not not free software so they won't go in the freely downloadable releases of MDK. in addition, we couldn't even legally redistribute them with a closed license currently, so they don't go in boxes or club sets either. It's entirely a legal issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamw Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Because it can play lots of useful things without them - divx, for a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Look at the top of each page here, it has the link: easy-urpmi. Click it. Follow instructions, in your case, choose 'cooker' as distro version. Add main, contrib, plf-free and plf-nonfree. then urpmi win32-codecs should do it.
