PACKAGE

- libdvdcss2
- libdvdcss2-dev

This is an experimental package and may be removed with short notice if the circumstances requires that.

The package makes it possible to play encoded DVDs with Xine and other video players. The package does not actually contain the library due to possible legal issues. Instead it is downloaded from download.videolan.org.

Hope it works well for you.

When you get to the point where you really understand your computer, it's probably obsolete.

Not sure what your question is. Has it something to do with the package libdvdcss2 or do you ask about how to download VLC ?

I'm not sure what I'm asking because the whole thing is very cryptic to a newbie windoze troglodyte like me.

But that solution you provided for extracting libdvdcss2 from the X4 files, so I can get Xine working is excellent. It worked and I am very grateful to you.

Thanks Arne,

Randolph

Glad you like it.

The libdvdcss2 together with the win32codecs and libxine1 library (same repository as libdvdcss2) should provide all you need to watch and listen whatever you want.

Cheers,
Arne

Well .mov (and probablt .flv) is just a container format. To be able to help, you have to specify how the video/audio in the container was encoded. If you have examples of .mov and .flv files that do not work for you tell me where to find them and I'll try them out to see if I can find something.

If you use Xine and have not already installed libxine1 provided by archlug, I suggest you install it and try your .mov and .flv again.

I have now installed libxine 1.1.3 as well as libdvdcss2 1.2.9 and libdvdcss2-dev 1.2.9, still no sound with the .flv files (they do have it with an flv player under windows).

Unfortenately I can't help you further without info about used codecs or at least an non-working flv or mov file I can try myself.

Clancy · Posted: Wed Sep 06, 2006 10:04 pm Post subject:

OK, thanks anyway. I thought there might be an easy / obvious solution I'd overlooked. I don't think it's worth spending any more time on at the moment.

This weekend I'm going to repartition the hard drive on our desktop, install winXP (solely for to able to do the Australian Tax stuff online, they won't allow linux), then XOS4 with all my customisations. I think I'll be busy enough! Smile

.flv is Flash Video IIRC, I think that is an MPEG4 based codec. .mov files are usually associated with Quicktime, so if you haven't already, download and install Quicktime via Crossover Office (if you have it!).

HTH.

Well...

this is probably kind of dumb...but when I put the archlug repository into the /etc/apt/sources.list...it doesn't apparently "save"...

when I go "back" there are the original three sources, the cdrom and the two XS4...

and the update and install says it is looking for sources but uses old ones...

Have I forgotten/missed something?

Did you edit sources.list as root (if not, that's your problem) ?

Have you tried to add the sources through XN|Edit|Set Application Sources ... instead ?
