.rm and .rmvb help! · DIGIT-ARC

Hi all
Just got some DBZ movies

with quotted format VLC fails to play the video which player to opt for

Regards Ds

^^ WTH am talking about Linux and its open Source forum

P

real player work in linux too

VLC doesn't play Real Media format. AFAIK only the RealPlayer (Check UbuntuGuide to install it) and XINE can play it fairly decently.

And older versions of .rm will not work on Linux at all. You need an old MPC + Codec pack to make it work.

^^^ Please elaborate it please

with installation steps

^^ ntw I was downloading Mplayer only

Yuck even Mplayer cannot play it

and Real player download site ends up with blank white page

thats why i have all linux audio & video players on my comp & still they consume very less space.

you name it & I have it.

Canonical Repositories have RealPlayer 7 in them. That should work good enough. (Canonical Repositories are enabled if you have Opera installed already, else just uncomment them in sources.list)

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install realplayer

Code:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

Package realplayer is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package realplayer has no installation candidate

Dude, read my post properly first! Weird, its installing here just fine!

Get this ...
*archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/r/realplay/realplay_10.0.9-0feisty1_i386.deb

real player works fine for my DBZ and Kenshin episodes

download the bin file from *www.real.com/linux/

do chmod a+x filename.bin
then
./filename.bin

follow the steps

edit: sumhow realplayer site doesn't seem to let download.strange try this *www.4shared.com/file/30441016/f9a09251/RealPlayer10GOLD.html

^^+1
And the bin file can be found here.

@dark star:try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install realplayer
works for me!and FTM,mplayer afaik supports realplayer formats.

Installed and got working but due to sucking Graphics processor my Videos are hangig a lot in Real Player for Lin.. while not the case with frnd

V

this is due to different configuration of your frnd pc and your

Its dri.RealPlayer videos play as if stuck,if dri isnt enabled.
i experienced this.
But,IMO RealPlayer sucks.
Dude,u said u had MPlayer installed.
Did u get the w32codecs package too?

If not get them from here:
*www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html
Scroll down to the Binary Codec packages, and download the one for ur system.

Regards,
ray

"glxinfo |grep direct" will let u know if u got DRI enabled.I hope you had

and ur system may not be capable enough?

Now you need to copy the key using the following command

Code:

sudo apt-get update

.

I did all hat now Totem play .rm files but Mplayer and VLC did not

Mplayer says fail to ope /location

in mplayer,u have to rightclick preferences>select audio=alsa,video=xv and now go to codecs and demuxer option.there try setting video codec=win32xx option.save and restart

now open a terminal and run:
"gmplayer /directorywherefileresides/dsdsds.rmvb" to see whether it works and also if it errs,look at terminal for more details.

for Xine,U have to do the same,but u have select "master of the universe" option to customize.

Does nt Helix Player play rm?

^No afaik.but mplayer/xine plays!
