I can't play .mkv on VLC
What should I install to be able to play .mkv files on VLC?
I got this discouraging error:
No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "h264". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
Is there actually no way to fix this?
I can hear the audio but no video.

Re: I can't play .mkv on VLC
According to the VideoLAN site(and my own personal experience) VLC plays .mkv's. The file you're trying to play may be broken or corrupted.indaymadel wrote:What should I install to be able to play .mkv files on VLC?

I also read in Debian mailing list that Vlc can't coexist with packages from Debian Multimedia , so you can try remove packages from there , and try to reinstall Vlc

File is good. It plays both in Windows and in Ubuntu/Linux Mint Main. But not in LMDE.JasonLG wrote:According to the VideoLAN site(and my own personal experience) VLC plays .mkv's.

Re: I can't play .mkv on VLC
I would look to see if they same software is installed on LMDE as it is in the main. I would compare all the codecs to make sure they are the same. If not then I would recommend maintaining duel boot one for playing your files. But I see a possibility that you can install the same version of VLC in LMDE as you can the main and codecs alike. that is what I would be looking at.
hope this helped

install this package from the multimedia repo "gstreamer0.10-x264"

VLC is available in debian's repos and works perfectly ... so does ffmpeg ... and all the multimedia packages from the multimedia repo (they wouldn't be available if they didn't work) ... why compile?
Re: I can't play .mkv on VLC
Maybe installing codecs from this site could help

Re: I can't play .mkv on VLC
ya i wouldn't do that ... installing ubuntu software on debian ... you are asking for problems besides debian's multimedia repo contains all the necessary packagesElisa wrote:Maybe installing codecs from this site could help

anyway , i got the same error two days ago; removed packages from deb. multimedia , reinstalled vlc , and now everything works fine

I just wondered why you compiled in the first place is all ... never mindsumski wrote:my advice wasn't that he should compile; i only said i got this kind of error when i tried to compile

back to topic ...
the "gstreamer0.10-x264" once installed will solve the original problem ... i seem to remember it was left out of this release by mistake
cheers
