I have seen that the new DivX Player 10 shows off H.265/HEVC playback, the successor of H.264. I wonder how I may get this support in Linux. Is there a need to install a codec specific for this format? How?
Where do I get the MPEG-4 AAC decoder, and the H.264 decoder.
How to install them and play the multimedia?
How to install all possible media codecs from console?
Is there a way to load and save them for some cases without Internet connection?
Thanks in Advance!
I created a screencast using recordmydesktop which produced an .ogv file. I believe this is an OGG file encoded using the Theora codec. I'm wondering how can I convert this to MPEG4/H.264? I've tried to use FFmpeg in a naive way, as follows:
ffmpeg -i demo.ogv -f mp4 demo.mp4
However this produces an evil blob of dark greens and grays when trying to play it again in MPlayer. I then tried to get more sophisticated, using the command-line flags specified here:
ffmpeg -i demo.ogv \
-s 352x288 -vcodec libx264 -vpre default \
-acodec libmp3lame -ab 192k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -f mp4 \
demo.mp4
But, the result was the same.
If anyone has any insight into what might be the best way to accomplish this task, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know.
My machine can't play encrypted DVDs on a fresh install. How do I add this capability? Another useful bit of information would be what programs are best for playing DVDs, once I'm able to do so. See the similar question here. Will I be able to play DVD movies from any region?
