Jza Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 This question might be hard to answer, well I will try my best. I download the series of shows from Go-Opensource (www.go-opensource.org/). I got them all via bittorrent but when I wanted to watch them on mplayer I could just get the video but no audio. They seem to be rendered for quicktime or something. The videos are mp4 (MPEG-4 Video) The audio (which is the one I DONT get) is: 22500 Hz MPEG-4 Audio I currently have mplayer and also have some codecs like xdiv and quicktimelinux rpms. Any ideas? I also have my mplayer with support for theora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Try installing all codecs. :) They are at plf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jza Posted August 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I kinda did but u dont u always think u have them all anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 You can download all codecs from the mplayer site. Copy them to /usr/lib/win32. That way you're sure you have them all :) And install faad. It's an mpeg4 decoder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I know the guys from Go Open Source pretty well (we are their PR partners), if you still aren't getting it going, I'd appreciate your feedback and I'll send it through to them. Have you tried VLC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jza Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I did, I think the only packages I dont have is the xdiv-devel packages from plf. But my question is more like which packages should make it work. They seem to be quicktime files (in windows) but on linux the codec is simply not clear. I get to run the video but there is no audio. I think I got the right codec it just dont fully support it. Maybe is the audio Mhz or configuration file. I wrote them a note on their site, but never got a response.

jboy Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Quicktime audio did not work on my installs until I did what's described in this post: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtop...ndpost&p=192229 Don't know what underlying codec is involved, but this seemed to be the missing link for me.

SoulSe Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I saw the guys from GOS yesterday and mentioned it to them, they said they would look into it. I also have an official Go Open DVD with all the episodes on it, if you really want it, we can make a plan; I can get a second copy for myself.

Jza Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yeah right now I am on the end of the world.... I will need to wait until I am in a Real country to put an order :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Well, I kinda meant I would give it to you for free. PM me if you're interested. I'm sure wherever you are you can get post, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jza Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Thanks man, mail post is extremely unreliable but I'll move soon to the UK then we can make the arrangements. Thanks for everything. :) I can paypal you btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I have friends going to the UK all the time, I'll just get one of them to drop it in the post, that way postage will be next to nothing. So don't worry about payment, just enjoy the DVD ;) The Go Open Source campaign is something close to my heart and part of my job - it's great to see the movement getting some attention internationally and I support it anyway I can. I also have a Go Open Source pen! Anyone? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
