Hey Ubuntu users help me...
I have installed ffmpeg package but hv sysnchonising problem between video and audio....
using totem player based on gstreamer....
Initially Ubuntu wasn't able to configure my graphics card and used vesa drivers...I hv changed to openchrome drivers for my gigabyte(k8m800mobo) onboard via graphics card....
And this Video-audio synchronising problem is faced by by friends also who uses ubuntu on his laptop...
@Dabster, you must specify your PC configuration, what motherboard, etc., Then I can tell you how to
synchronize audio & video. By the way , what version of Ubuntu you are using? Do post the details or PM
me , I'll help you solve your problem.
I am using ubuntu Brezzy badger that's 5.10...and have Gigabyte K8V800M-L motherboard....with amd64 processor....
I don't think it to be a machine specific problem....My friend who is using Ubuntu BB on Acer laptop with some onboard Nvidia card is also having the same problem....
Actually I have installed gstreamer-ffmpeg and gstreamer-mpeg2dec packages only.... And i thinks that some other package is also required which i am not able to figure out....
Since many people hv same problem as it can be seen by the count of views to this query I am posting the solution to it as told to me...

Hello Dabster,
You need to install the drivers for your
motherboard chipset. Since there is no hardware
acceleration , there won't be sychronisation of audio &
video. Mine is based on Intel 845GV chipset. I installed
a package called '855resolution' and did some configuration & the same problem like yours was solved for me.
Here is the procedure:
----------------------------------
Open Synaptic Package Manager. From it's menu chose
Settings-> Repositories. It will Open a dialog called
'Software Preferences' select all the options on that
dialog box and click on 'Add'. On clicking Add button
opens a dialog box 'Edit Repository'. Select all the
options - Officially Restricted, Restricted Copyright,
Community Maintained (Universe), Non-free (Multiverse).
Click on OK. Now the Repository connects to the Net
and gets all the software sources available. After the
source-update is done click on 'Reload' button to see
the changes. Now depending on your motherboard
& chipset type select & install the drivers & configure
as per the instructions given.
Though I am myself unable to find my hardware specific Resolution package...
Since your Processor is 64-bit. You must use 64-bit Ubuntu. I think that will have the
drivers for your motherboard. Also use the latest version of Ubuntu (6.06)
Finally compiled mplayer on openSuse 10.0 no jitter problem and it plays literally all movie files....
Ok good. Even Ubuntu plays VCD/DVD very well. Just like in Windows.
