MP3 Plugin for XMMS and Sound Problem in Suse 10.
by Pillai, Vinu 05 Mar '06

05 Mar '06

Hi Everyone, I just installed SUSE Linux 10.0 on my system. But I am not able to configure sound (I configured through YAST), although when I click on test button I am able to hear the sound but when I play an audio cd I can't hear anything. The audio cd is an auto play and it shows me the time and menu of tracks in the audio cd on the media player (xmms and the default audio player). Please help me in correcting the issue. Besides that I am also not able to play mp3 in SUSE. It seems that the players require a plugin to play the mp3 files. Where can I find the mp3 plugin for SUSE Specific?? Any help, greatly appreciated. Following is the configuration of my machine:- 1) Pentium III 500 MHz 2) 4 MB Video RAM 2) 256 MB Ram 3) 20 GB HDD Thank you. -- Vinu Pillai.

Chadley Wilson: > Go to http://www.free-codecs.com and download and install the latest > XP-codec pack there.. Thank you for your hints. Regrettably it is not the solution I am looking for. I will give my CD to customers and I can't ask them to go and download anything. They just want to put a CD in their drive (or even DVD-drive on their TV) and look at it. So I have to provide such a CD that is just running in "all" computers using standard programs that just are there by default. Actually I don't care, if at the end it's an avi or an mpg or whatever (I joust thought avi would be the right one, it sounded so windowish to me...). I am almost sure, if I use the right settings in dvd::rip then this should be possible. But what are the right settings/codecs? Can anybody help...? Daniel b.t.w.: as many people still have old systems (Win 98, ME etc.) I can't use something that is just running on XP. DivX, for example, is not supportet for Win98 anymore. -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Switzerland professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com special interest site: http://www.bauer-nudes.com

dvd::rip : what codecs to make a CD viewable on Windows too?
by Daniel Bauer 06 Feb '06

Hi everybody I had one of my short vhs videos dubbed to a cd. Then I ripped it with dvd::rip to harddisc and made an avi from it (see details below) and burned the avi to a cd. I can play the avi on my Suse 10.0 with every program (Mplayer, Xine, Kaffeine) without any problem, but Windows wouldn't play it (not with Mediaplayer nor Quicktime nor a PowerDvd demo version I've downloaded after googling...). It says something like "codec missing" and "can't find appropriate codec to download". Well, I can't imagine why, but there are still a lot of people using Windows instead of an operating system for some reasons and so I should be able to produce a CD that even MS-users can view. Can anybody help me and tell me what codes I have to use so that I can make a CD (not a DVD) from it that even Win-users can play? Any help is highly appreciated! Daniel Details of my settings when making the last avi: [General] Title: einVersuch Data source: DVD DVD title number: 1 Runtime: 00:37:41 [Video] Video format: PAL FPS: 25 Size: 640 x 480 Video bitrate (kbps): 2587 Video codec: ffmpeg AF6 codec: mpeg4 2-pass-encoded: yes Fast resizing: no Deinterlacer filter: Auf Vollbild zoomen (langsam) Antialiasing filter: Kein Antialiasing [Programs] dvd::rip version: 0.52.6 transcode version: 1.0.2 -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Switzerland professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com special interest site: http://www.bauer-nudes.com

Image program

Hi When I'm running windows xp I use a really great program called "ACD Systems ACDSee" for viewing photos and video clips, it works really great. Now running Suse I have not found a program that is as good. I'm running GNOME and in that I have not found any good program, but under KDE there is a program called "Gwenview" that I use, but as I have noticed it is not so good to run programs from KDE when I am logged in with GNOME cause for ex deleted files never drops down in the trash but still takes up the space on my disk and I have to manually delete them from the .local dir in my home folder. And then there is still the problem that Gwenview does not do the job that ACDSee does. Is there a great image program for suse? Regards /Per

Sadly, I haven't found anything that comes close for Linux. When I recently upgraded it, I noticed that it is reported to run fine under Wine, so you may want to give it a try. I haven't tried it under Wine myself (preferring not to taint my Linux systems with Windows software), so I can't vouch for it in that context.
