How to install media codecs in OL6 U1

Hi,
I have Oracle Linux 6 Update 1 and I need to install the media codes (mp3 etc).
Is there any repos where i can download the codecs.
Thanks
Ajay

Sorry, you are right. The package is available from the rpm-forge repository for EL6.
Depending on 32 or 64 bit can install the appropriate repository for yum:
rpm -Uvh http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm
I suggest you also check http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL to see if it provides appropriate software.
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
You can than try "yum search mpe*"
(replace * with g - the forum software did not allow me post that word)
Please note that many audio and video codecs are not free and require a license when encoding.

How to install DTS codec in LED TV?

I'm using Toshiba Series 40PS200. I realized it don't support DTS audio system. How can we update DTS codec in LED tv? can it be done?

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.

ITunes crashes on start up since installed Ace Media CodecS pack

First post and if truth to be told iv never had to use the support forums at Apple before because everything normally goes swimmingly well. But now im in dire need of assistance
Basically, I did one of the most silliest things I could have done and in an effort to get Audio to play on a .avi file I downloaded 'Ace MegaCodecS'
Looking in the installation file I just selected everything and whilst some programs failed to work - a quick uninstall of it seemed to do the trick.
But itunes has posed a problem somewhat.
Initially I couldnt install it or uninstall it. I even had the same 'fatal error' on Quicktime. But after using Windows Install Clean Up I managed to install Quicktime first and then iTunes.
But still the problem persists... I try and load up itunes and it comes back with an error and if I try and load of Quicktime? It comes back with a 'Buffer Overrun detected'
This is the error message for iTunes:
*Faulting application itunes.exe, version 7.3.2.6, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x000a0164.*
*For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.*
In addition to the above I have also used a registry cleaner to clear out any rogue items and iv also uninstalled some codecs which didnt disappear when I uninstalled the Ace Media CodecS Pack.
I love using iTunes, I keep all my music on there and because of doing this, I believe I have lost my statistical data but thats neither here nor there...I would love to get it back without having to format my hard drive from scratch.
If anyone could take the time to help me I would be ever so grateful

How to install a CableCARD tuner in your DIY Media Center

Note that it says it is out of date because of pacman. Really all you need to know is that pacman uses signed packages now, so it is now necessary to run the pacman-key stuff. Or set SigLevel = Never in pacman.conf
Edit: IMHO the first method is preferred because it more closely resembles a regular install. Ergo, you will be able to semi follow the beginners guide for config and such.

I cannot view video on Windows Media Player...Seems I need to install a "Codec".......which one?

I cannot view any video sent to me or by me on Windows Media Player. Seems that I need to install a "Codec"......but which one and where do I find this? In doing some reasearch, I noted that one must be careful to install the correct one. I am not happy that this was not included in my PC when I purchased it. I am using Windows 7 on HP Pavilion dv6-3133nr Entertainment Notebook, if that is of any help. Please....any info?

gramaof6,
I would be inclined to install VLC from Filehippo website, as I use VLC on all my PC clients for DVDs. Please find the link below for further information.

Installing Additional Codecs to Adobe Media Encoder?

I was wondering if there is a way to install additional codecs to AME CS5. The one specific codec is MPEG-1 codec. It was taken a couple of revs ago. Any info would be great.

Jim Simon wrote:
AME uses ceratin codecs available to the system....
I'm not sure that's true.
I had to reinstall Media Encoder CS4 because it had so many more than CS5 which only had 4 formats. Same computer trying to convert the same AVI file. I'm sure I'm missing something.

I Finally figured how to get media center to install on my PC!!

I used to get a blue screen error everytime I tried to install it and got no fix from phone tech support. I then searched the forums and found nothing. At some point I realized I had not tried all of the compatibility settings included in XP home. I then went on to find out that if I disabled advanced text services and ran it in compatibility mode for win 98/ME that it ran perfectly and have had no problems since. :D Just figured I'd let the world know since I had to figure it out on my own. Good Luck!

Hi, my first post here..
Im having a problem like that, i have the geforce FX 5600 from msi 128 mb when i try to install media center deluxe II on my computer it reboots automatically before getting into the instalation wizard.
im trying the compatibility thing , but i dont know if that will work
I want to input my playstation 2 to the video card so i can play in the monitor and hear it on the surround system.
If anyone knows another way of plugging my playstation 2 on the computer without having to install media center please let me know. I cant figure out how to see the input image on the monitor and stuff without the software... X(
How do you change the advanced text thing??? i couldn´t find it
well bye and thanx
I edit now:
I changed that.. the wizard ran fine, but i got an error in the middle of the instalation... now i can´t install or uninstall, because the program tells me if i want to completely remove it when í´ve already done that (in theory). so i go to the settings in windows to uninstall the program... and the computer reboots automatically every time, and then the same, i cant really uninstall or try to uninstall again.
The card is expensive, its hard to find and hard to buy in a place like mexico city, i cant get support over here because they just dont know what the hell happens.
i want support, and i want good support, and i want now... i payed for the product, and i want it to work as MSI tells me it will work.
So im taking to the admins here or whoever is in charge of the support in these forums, dont get me wrong, im not being a pain... im asking for what i was promised, and my time is expensive, as your cards are.
Service please.

How to install Adobe Media Encoder C6 when CC is all ready installed

Hello
I need to be able to publish flv files, but the new Adobe Media Encoder CC can't export FLV files, therefore I need to install an older version. But I can't find it anywhere. Not on Adobe.com or en the creatiev Cloud App under previous versions. Does anyone know where to find it?

I hope this link helps.
Install a previous version of any Creative Cloud application
Media Encoder CS6 is bundled with some Video apps and cannot be installed by itself. Installing Premiere Pro CS6, After Effects CS6, Flash CS6 or Prelude CS6 would install Media Encoder CS6.

HOW do you use "com.sun.media.codec.video.jpeg.NativeEncoder"???

Hi!! I want to know if I can use this encoder (NativeEncoder) for encoding to MJPG.
If I do: PlugInManager.getPlugInList(new VideoFormat( VideoFormat.RGB),
new VideoFormat(VideoFormat.MJPG), PlugInManager.CODEC);
I obtain only one codec:com.sun.media.codec.video.jpeg.NativeEncoder
BUT, then, I do: codec.setInputFormat(new VideoFormat( VideoFormat.RGB))-->It returns me:NULL. why????!!!
Regards!

The input format may have to be more specific and suitable; eg for Windows :-
RGBFormat(new Dimension(w,h), w*h*3, Format.byteArray, -1.0F, 24, 3, 2, 1, 3, w*3,-1,-1)

How to install vendor supplied Windows DivX codec on Arch?

Hello,
I bought a new MPEG4 camcorder. I assumed it would be standard MPEG4 playable on my ARCH desktop. Little did I know that the camcorder vendor provides a modified DivXPro codec for Windows only!
In the codec there is a DLL (Umm, I think, DivX.dll, I am not sure though) and a couple of .ax files (I think these are DivX filters or something like that). I tried to put these files in /usr/lib/win32 directory but no improvement.
Can somebody please suggest me a method of installing this codec in Arch so that I don't have to goto Window for watching (and transcode) my home videos?

*maybe* Mplayer can use the dll, in which case you can convert the video with mencoder to a more Linux-friendly codec.

How to install Mac OS without media and another Mac?

I have wiped out disk in my Macbook A1432 (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz). I do not have any install media or Mac OS available, just a Windows desktop. My question:
Is there any easy way to install Mac OS on my Macbook? All manuals are using another Mac OS for creating image, but as I said, I do not have it. I did not mange to find any DVD ISO on Apple site. Thank you

How we proceed depends on what version of OS X the Mac started with.
But it sounds as though you started with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and upgraded to Lion (10.7.5).
If that's is possible try rebooting your Mac and holding down the command and R keys as soon as you hear the chime, release them when (or if) Recovery loads.

How Do I Add CODECs (e.g., FFV1, Lagarith) to Photoshop's 'Export Video' Options?

Hi all,
I'm trying to add lossless CODECs (e.g., FFV1, Lagarith) to Photoshop (and Premiere and After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder) so that I can generate archival videos with the highest possible lossless compression ratios. I've installed several CODECs, but none of them appear in Photoshop's 'Export Video' options, for example. How do I get these CODECs to appear?
For the record, I'm using CS5.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Dave

Found it!
I was concentrating almost entirely on Photoshop, where the new CODECs weren't appearing. To make things worse, I'm new to AME and wasn't looking in the right places. Selecting AVI and then breesing down to the Codec dropdown revealed Lagarith, ffdshow (FFV1, HuffYUV, etc.). Awesome. Now, let's give these suckers a whirl....
Thank you so much, Mylenium!

How to How to install ATI Radeon HD2600 driver on bootcamp 3.0 windows 7 partition w/black screen problem

Ok....so i've posted this question in a different way, and i gotten several "scratch the surface" answers from people just saying to install "Ati catalyst", or insert the os x dvd and run set up.exe, and update to boot camp 3.1 or 3.2...while these all seem like great suggestions, I am finding myself needing more specific direction or "hand holding" so to speak.....here is the MAIN problem...
The Background/history
I used boot camp (3.0, and i found updates for 3.1 for imac and for windows, but can't find for mac pro, AND they all are ".exe" files which run on windows..which as you'll see is the big part of my problem...So I recently updated my mac pro (with the ATI Radeon HD2600 graphic PCIe card with 10.6.7 from 10.5.8. I created a single partitioned drive to install windows 7 professional 64 bit. The download software function didn't work (Thanks, APPLE for that poor level of support) so have to select the option that i have already downloaded, or have other media with the drivers already on it....i restarted with the windows 7 disk in....
The installation of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
So the installation of windows 7 seemed to go flawlessly, was able to use my existing 23" hd apple cinema display (so somehow it has drivers that work with the graphics card, or maybe the motherboard's on board video components) and i select english, and install now, custom, blah, blah, blah...installation causes a few reboots, then restarts ultimately back in os x since that is the default boot os i use on this desk top and have to do the "opt" button to select booting in windows....so when i try restarting in windows, now using the actual boot drive on which i am installing it, it ran through another reboot or two, but then after that, my display goes black.... in the communities, the solution sounds super simple... "go download the ATI catalyst for the black screen problem....windows 7 doesn't have device drivers that work with the ATI radeon hd2600...no problem, just go download and install...."
The problem, re-emphasized : I cannot even finish the install for windows, because of this driver problem....i cannot see anything....I have tried to reboot in safe mode, and that then seems to invoke whatever basic drivers that do work, likely through the motherboards onboard video vs the actual graphic card, and the screen works and says that it's wanting to complete the installation, so i'm thinking awesome this is gonna work....and then.. "windows installation was not completed and cannot be completed in SAFE MODE, need to restart, blah, blah, blah" pops up...and forces reboot...so Safe Mode allows me to see, but won't allow me to finish the install of windows 7...and without completing the install i can't run (ranther I DONT KNOW HOW TO) any of the various .exe files everyone is telling me are the solutions to my problem...like update 3.1 and 3.2 bootcamp...they're all .exe files? not sure why, because bootcamp runs in 10.6.7 i thought, but whatever...it needs running Windows to execute...then the ATI radeon hd2600 driver for windows 7 that i downloaded from the site has an installation program that is an .exe file, which needs windows to run... Does this make sense, why i can't just use these fixes, that seem to be the only fixes out there....so can someone school me step by step here (not just the highlights) of how to update bootcamp, and how to install the ati radeon driver without having been able to complete the windows 7 installation because the monitor goes and stays black????
This is so very frustrating for the record...and any substantial help "not just go download this..." would be immensely appreciated.
Some other things i've been told to try that i've tried and nothing seems to happen as i'm told it will....
---I've been told to install the osx dvd and run "setup.exe" - AGAIN...it's an exe file...and 2 - when i put in the os x file it just wants to re install 10.6...so need more help if this is even a real solution to understand how to make it work...
---I've been told to update boot camp to 3.1 and/or 3.2 from 3.0, using Apple Software Update....Well, my software update is saying everything is up to date and there is nothing new to download at all, and when i reverify the bootcamp version it is still only 3.0.2...and again downloading the updates from www.apple.com/support/ for 3.1 and 3.2...all of those are .exe files...need windows to run them...again, refer to the problem described in detail above...
---I've been referred to the black screen on imac early 2011 thread saying it should fix my problem...and reading it it SEEMED like the most promising resolution...it involves creating a boot flash drive for windows 7 and an xml file that sets the imac drivers to auto install during the windows installation..and it got me farther than anything else..but still ultimately ended up in the darned black screen...my assumption is that it's because it's for imac and not mac pro so not ati-radeon specific drivers....ok....that's enough..please...anyone who thinks they can help...your help is desperately needed...thanks so much in advance!

hey Hatter, thanks so much for getting back...so just to be super clear...is there no way to install the drivers using an exe file given my current state? no way to do it with command prompt or something? if can make work with existing card, i'd prefer it...now when you say it's 'toast' how do you mean? it works well with the os x partitions and always has...so i'm not sure i follow, just want to be clear...
Now to your point of starting with only the one drive installed...so i would put that bootcamp drive in bay 1 and disconnect the rest...i'm not totally sure what you're suggesting the effect should be of doing this? just that i'm just installing windows without the bootcamp deal...but if windows 7 doesn't support the ati radeon hd2600, it still will go black screen no? or you're saying it will run video through the motherboard if it's the only bootdrive, and will run all the way through the windows install without trying to switch over to the hd2600? (slrry flr these questions..just really want to make sure i understand what you're telling me..thanks so much for your patience and help by the way...it's very greatly appreciated...your support is priceless!
So now, assuming none of the above is possible...referring now to the ati 5770 that you referred to...you mention it works with 10.6 well, and that windows 7 supports it ...2 questions on that
1) Windows 7 supports" meaning, out of the box windows 7 supports it? or will i have to install drivers still through some update, because again, if that's how i have to do it, then won't work, cuz can't start windows to see anything to install any drivers or run any thing at all...so it would have to just work with initial installation.
2)hardware wise for my Mac Pro 3,1...intel dual quad core xeon, blah blah....will this card work? it's a PCIe and should fit on my board no prob, etc?

How to install windows 8.1 oem (without installation CD) with Parallels on Mac?

Have bought a Parallels Desktop 9 bundle that came with Windows 8.1 OEM (with just the product key and no CD). Have successfully installed Parallels on my mid-2013 Macbook Air (without any previous Windows), but just don't know how to install the Windows. The Windows envelop just contains licensing details, no procedures included. Have tried to download the "Windows ADK" thing from the Microsoft OEM page, just wouldn't install at all. Pls help!!! Many thanks!!

Hi LonerT. I'm sure that's correct!
Again, for anyone trying to install Windows8.1 (on parallels-Mac), just as you say "Microsoft also has an online store, which [could] be leveraged to accept Product Keys and allow media downloads on any OS......"
Indeed, it's a real trap that if you go to the MSFT online store, it says "pay and download!" But in fact - believe it - the only thing you can download is a small Windows program (!!!) which can only run ON WINDOWS (!!!!!), which is then a "download manager". Which is kind of bizarre if you think the whole idea is, that it is someone BUYING WINDOWS because they DON'T HAVE IT!
If you read the discussion lists even Windows dudes get furious at it - it's like "just have a f'ing link to the file, the iso file". What the heck is the point of downloading a "Download Manager" ??? Anyways.
{If, for some reason, you DO HAVE ON HAND the actual DVD (64bit) for Windows8.1, then yes you CAN JUST BUY A PRODUCT KEY online at MSFT's store, which is great. But then, very few people actually buy Windows8.1 on dvd -- when you buy a "windows laptop" it has a whacky OEM version, etc.}
It's great fun to have Windows8.1 running in a window on your Mac! (See image below.)
But again, after vast investigation we found YOU DO NEED TO GET A PHYSICAL DVD. Fortunately they sell Windows everywhere, you can grab a copy at the local supermarket!
(You can run Windows8.1 in a mac window, or, full screen as you prefer. We have had no problems with macs with any number of extra displays, it seems to figure it out.)
You want the box that looks like this .. "8.1 version complete"
Use only the 64bit disk, throw away the 32bit disk. The box includes a product key on a piece of plastic. Again if by coincidence you have a friend with one of these, just use their DVD, and, you can buy a product key at MSFT's online shop. Once again installation is trivial with Parallels10 - but ya gotta get the DVD.
