| Post subject: | Quicktime codecs for Internal Player? |
Hello, My Kodak camera saves movies in Quicktime format, and I am finally getting back to getting these working in KM. Everything used to work in R5F1, but the audio no longer works in R5F27. I get the video of the movies, but no audio. I know I had a bear of a time finding the right codecs on my main desktop, and couldn't for the life of me figure out what I finally did to get that working. So, I am hoping that someone here has figured out what I would need to install to get the audio working on Quicktime MOV files. I have already installed the w32codec pack using the webinstall script. So that doesn't have everything I need. Any ideas? |

You will probably find that the audio may be encoded as AAC. I found I had some MP4 videos like this and when I first played it they didn't work. Now for the life of me they do, I believe they are now being played through mplayer and not the internal player. |

+1 - give mplayer a try. If it doesn't work out-of-the-box, do follow my HOWTO update mplayer guide. I can't remember if cesman included all the essential codec pack with R5F27 or not. |

No codecs are included. However that is all one should need to add. There really is no need to recompile. |

Ok, I have done the MPlayer update and still no audio. When I run MPlayer from the command-line I get : Code: Opening audio decoder: [alaw] aLaw/uLaw audio decoder
AUDIO: 16000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 256.0 kbit/50.00% (ratio: 32000->64000) Selected audio codec: [ulaw] afm: alaw (uLaw) As the audio section. I tried the same movie on my SuSE PC using MPlayer (the same 1.0rc2-4.1.2 version) and get the same audio information. However, the auio plays. So as far as I can tell there are two possible issues. Either the codec is missing (though the /usr/lib/codecs looks to be the same). Or the audio isn't getting out of my PC. I have a Chaintech AV710 soundcard and am using the optical out to my receiver. I haven't had an issue with anything else, but maybe MPlayer is different. Could this be the issue? Tomorrow I'll try hooking up a pair of speakers directly to the card and see what happens. |

So I guess this has turned into a soundcard question. When I plug in speakerrs to the analog out of the soundcard, those play the sound fine. So, how do I get that audio to come out of the optical digital out on the AV710? As I mentioned, all other audio comes out via the optical connection. When I add the -ao alsa:device=plughw=0.1 to my mplayer command the entire video goes into slow-motion. |

I'd help you if I could, but I've never used a digital out before... does alsa allow you to switch between analog and digital? |

Ok, I finally got mplayer working correctly. My command-line now looks like: Code: mplayer -fs -monitoraspect 16:9 -srate 48000 -ao alsa:device=plughw=0.1 %s
Adding the -srate option along with the -ao option fixed the slow playback of mplayer. Now all audio is output via my optical out. |
