VCD's will not play

[splpayet]

Hello,

I tried playing a Video Clips CD but it would not play. I thought maybe the cd was scratched but I tried a good VCD (that plays in Win-doze) and it also would not play. Totem said it didnt have plugin to play it. This is a problem because even XP, no matter how crap it is, plays a VCD. VLC also didnt play it.

I would feel bad showing an XP user Linux Mint on my computer, and when I try a VCD, it does not play.

w32 codecs is installed by default though. can anyone help?

I found this for Feisty

Code: Select all

From Terminal, copy and paste (one by one):

    sudo apt-get install vcdtools
    sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs
    sudo apt-get install libxine-main1

From Applications menu choose Add/Remove
You should use synaptic unless I completely misunderstand
Install: gxine

Open Gxine,
Choose VCD0 to play (vcd 2)

or Choose VCD to pay old VCD (vcd 1)
