AVI and Linux
Thread Solved |
Hello,
I just got RH Fedora Linux to try it out. I am a windows user so I am still getting use to the differences of linux. One of the things I want to figure out is how to play an AVI on this os.

You can play avis with programs such as mplayer. You're in Fedora, so odds are, you're using the rpm package management system. Type rpm -q mplayer to see if it's installed. If it is, type mplayer & to run it. If it's not, you will need to download it from one of the many RedHat / Fedora mirror sites.

A few other good programs are VLC (not to be confused with VNC) and xine.

Helllo,
I've also had good luck with Aviplay, that's usually what I've always used. =P
It should be in your package, since it's RD.

to install programs in fedora use the yum function
open terminal
type su then your root password
type yum install (program)
mplayer is not a recognized program in GNOME so make sure the program you are wanting to use is in the right enviroment
i.e GNOME,KDE,etc

In Ubuntu I use Totem movie player that come by default. I just click a any .avi file and the OS search for the file libraries and just add to the player. I am sure it is similar to Fedora. Shouldn't be difficult.
