[opensuse] AVI movies
Hi there! I have some movies in *.avi format and I can't watch them with the banshee player. Do you have any solution for this? Thanks and regards, Willie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Your question means nothing. AVI is a container format and not a codec. You are missing a codec to play the file. Have you followed the instructions here: http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_Formats (click on the link for your SUSE version). If you still can't play the file after this, post again.

avi is only a container format and can contain files with very different encodings. Therefor it's hard to say what you'd need. Have you tried watching them in xine or mplayer?

You can get video info from avi file by
$ mplayer -identify <video file> -ao null -vo null -frames 0
2>/dev/null | grep VIDEO

Or you could use FFmpeg: ffmpeg -i <video file> which will give you lots of details about all the formats it supports. Or, if it's just for an AVI, you could use "file" instead: davjam@donnas:~> file /videos/tmp/fennel*.avi /videos/tmp/fennel-01.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 640 x 480, 25.00 fps, video: DivX 5, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 22050 Hz) /videos/tmp/fennel-02.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 640 x 480, 25.00 fps, video: DivX 5, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 22050 Hz) /videos/tmp/fennel-03.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 640 x 480, 25.00 fps, video: DivX 5, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 22050 Hz) /videos/tmp/fennel-04.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 640 x 480, 25.00 fps, video: DivX 5, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 22050 Hz) Regards, David Bolt -- Team Acorn: http://www.distributed.net/ OGR-NG @ ~100Mnodes RC5-72 @ ~1Mkeys/s openSUSE 10.3 32b | openSUSE 11.0 32b | | openSUSE 10.3 64b | openSUSE 11.0 64b | openSUSE 11.1 64b | RISC OS 3.6 | RISC OS 3.11 | openSUSE 11.1 PPC | TOS 4.02 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
