How to see video codec details like in Ubuntu?

Post by Janiporo »

In ubuntu when I right click on video file and choose preferences (translated from Finnish, not sure it is that, anyway it is the bottom one) and choose the last tab on the right, it tells me codec info, audio info, framerate, etc. How do I enable it in Mint? Or is it even possible. :roll:
Or some kind of easy way to see codec details with mouse click.

Thank you :shock:

I get the CODEC details when I right click and select Properties, so perhaps you can provide more details about your Mint version.

Tested on Cinnamon Mint 13.

We need somebody with Mate to check to see if it works, or if there is a special problem with your install.

In response to Garvan, I'm using Mint 13 Mate and there are no codec (or any other) details when I go into the properties of any video files.

If you have a media player running/installed you could check the codecs installed for that application, it will be the defaults or the ones used by that application (eg VLC, MPlayer etc!)

Probably if you check the package manager for codecs or multimedia you will find the list that is installed onto your system..

--check the multimedia section..

  • For multimedia, you have Banshee, VLC, Gnome Player and Movie player. If you chose to download the standard ISO file, all the necessary multimedia codecs are pre-installed by default.
--looks like codecs are all installed by default already
