Win32codecs...

[dmzeplin]

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??

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.

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.

Really? if win32codecs is out, then why mplayer keep continue??

Because it can play lots of useful things without them - divx, for a start.

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.
