Guest akuduwi Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I have install mandriva 2008.1 on may desktop. I noticed that it failed to open all video file ( mpeg, avi, dat, etc. ) Recently I installed kaffeine and mplayer and win32codecs to play a wide variety of audio/video format. Now, the problem is --- I am able to play video file ( mpeg, avi, dat, etc. ), audio is running normally, but the video / picture is not coming. can anybody help me please ?

arctic Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Welcome aboard. :) Have you installed the codecs from the PLF-repositories? (check the "easyurpmi" link at the top right side of this site. you can add those using easyurpmi). Can you see the videos in another player, like e.g. xine? (For whatever reason, some videos refuse to run properly with some video-players ... my very own experience). Also: Which video file-format is the film you are having trouble with? avi? wmv? ...

David Batson Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I don't know much about it, but in Windows there is an Overlay mode (with ATI cards - not sure about others) that if not enabled will not let you see video content. Searching briefly it appears that some of the latest ATI drivers may support this. There is also something else called Framebuffer. I have seen this problem in Windows with my ATI card, and it had me stumped for a bit. I am clueless about using this feature in Linux though. See the following for a little about this: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_TV-Out I don't know if this is the OP's problem, but it could be related.

Greg2 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 What video card do you have? Have you installed the proper video driver for that card? Do you have 3D desktop effects enabled, if so, please disable them and try to play a video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
