I need to see some “mov” file on my laptop, but Quicktime doesn’t official support linux. I have to find another way to do it.
I did some research, they all suggested to use Totem (which is included in Gnome, but does not exist in KDE).
- install Totem, by “sudo apt-get install totem”. The link is “movie player” in multimedia.
- I tried to use Totem to open one “mov” file, but the program report “H264 and “AAC” missed.
- I install decode for video by.
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg - I can see the video now, but I can’t heard the voice. I installed “faac” and “faad”. Those doesn’t work.
- I found another article explain this problem. It seems the original packages doesn’t include faac decode. I have to install multiverse package, so I did it.
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse - The downloaded “mov” files working now.
- A little confuse when I tried to install totem-plugins. There is an article let me to disable “restricted format” which will fix all problems. I am working on it now. let me see what will happen next.
- try to installed some missed packages by:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse ogle ogle-gui libxine1-ffmpeg - I installed the totme and xine plugins for firefox, then I can open the files now. It seems the step 8 is useless for this purpose.
sudo apt-get install totem-xine-firefox-plugin
Xine:
somebody also suggested to use Xine. I checked it and found it is also included in Gnome, and I just need to install the UI to make it work.
- install ” sudo apt-get install gxine” and “sudo apt-get install xine-ui”
I can use this to see my downloaded DVD rip files. Sweet!.
