Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gstreamer0.8-theora
I've created an avifile using ffmpeg using the following command with ffmpeg (replace $VOBFILE with your video): ffmpeg -i $VOBFILE -croptop 80 -cropbottom 80 -vcodec libtheora -me_method full -an -sameq -b 1024k video.avi this video has the FOURCC code "THEO". It plays back in mplayer just fine and is, as far as I know, correct. Ubuntu, however, describes it as x-decoder-unknown, and thus cannot find a decoder for it. I have also created an mkv file out of it using the following command: mkvmerge -o "video.mkv" --title "video" --chapters chapters video.avi --language 0:eng --sync 0:1080 sound1.ogg --language 0:dut --sync 0:13904 sound2.ogg --language 0:eng subs-eng.idx --language 0:dut subs- dut.idx This has the same problem. It does play the audio though and it recognises the title. I think totem should recognise those files and play them back properly. ** Affects: gst-plugins0.8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- totem does not understand theora 4cc code https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354184 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
