Have you tried playing those with mplayer or vlc?
Yes, but they don't work well. Sound did not work for me last time. Perhaps I did not install all the codecs.
Did you use the packman (or for vlc: the packman or videolan-repo) versions?
Yes, from packman.
Actually, you don't stumble often over realmedia stuff anymore, and e.g. (elderly) "Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie" .rm are:
Eummm.... not that type. My problems are videos recorded by my Nokia mobile phone (cellular). They are 3gp, and I have no choice of format. I can convert them to avi using ffmpeg, but they turn out quite bigger. cer@Elessar:~/Documents> file Vídeo0023.3gp Vídeo0023.3gp: ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, 3GPP cer@Elessar:~/Documents> mediainfo Vídeo0023.3gp General Complete name : Vídeo0023.3gp Format : MPEG-4 Format profile : 3GPP Media Release 5 Codec ID : 3gp5 File size : 5.20 MiB Duration : 5mn 33s Overall bit rate : 131 Kbps Encoded date : UTC 2009-12-10 12:59:30 Tagged date : UTC 2009-12-10 12:59:30 Video ID : 1 Format : H.263 Format profile : BaseLine@4.5 Codec ID : s263 Duration : 5mn 33s Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 117 Kbps Width : 176 pixels Height : 144 pixels Display aspect ratio : 1.222 Frame rate mode : Variable Frame rate : 8.885 fps Minimum frame rate : 1.350 fps Maximum frame rate : 16.121 fps Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.518 Stream size : 4.64 MiB (89%) Writing library : hant Language : English Encoded date : UTC 2009-12-10 12:59:30 Tagged date : UTC 2009-12-10 12:59:30 Audio ID : 2 Format : AMR Format/Info : Adaptive Multi-Rate Format profile : Narrow band Codec ID : samr Duration : 5mn 33s Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 12.8 Kbps Channel(s) : 1 channel Sampling rate : 8 000 Hz Resolution : 13 bits Stream size : 522 KiB (10%) Writing library : Nokia Language : English Encoded date : UTC 2009-12-10 12:59:30 Tagged date : UTC 2009-12-10 12:59:30 Xine plays it well, but the audio is horrible, turns on and off white noise, not the sound.
This is simply incompatible. Just use rpm -i --noscripts /home/cer/Download/RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm and run /opt/real/RealPlayer/postinst/postinst.sh manually. [..] Yes! It worked, thanks.
Bingo! :)
Glad it worked, but have a look, as at least mplayer should play that stuff. Mail me a sample URL if it doesn't, so I can have a look.
Let me see... I have a 2 MB one available if you want. Hah, realplayer does not play sound of it, it is not a reliable program. The second time you play something it fails. Or, you can fetch one from some bugzillas I posted. In Bug 605856 there is one. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 11.2 x86_64 "Emerald" GM (Elessar))
