Mplayer add ons for wm, rm and dvd playing

[techAdmin]

These addons will make your media player support most modern streaming file types:

:: Code ::

apt-get install mplayer-686 mplayer-doc mplayer-fonts qt6codecs
avifile-win32-plugin faad libdivxencore0 libdvdcss0 w32codecs

//Now say you want to rip dvds and encode them with as many options as possible?

apt-get install video-dvdrip subtitleripper

src

I still have to find an apt repository that has those available.

You can use these apt repositories currently to get most of these:

:: Code ::

#miscellaneous
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ etch main
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main
deb-src http://perso.wanadoo.fr/debian/ unstable main

Ubuntu also has a tutorial page on media types

And this ubuntu forum thread lists a bunch more media apps you can probably find on apt as well as that proprietary tool they talk about.

Note, here's the deb repository maintainer's website
