whats with none of my programs reconizing extensions vlc can't do avi totem can't do any comix can't do cbr please help i want to keep da pengi

I'm not sure what you mean. If you have a video file called. video.avi, and assuming you have all the proper codecs installed to play it, you could play it using vlc by entering "vlc video.avi".

i meant the programs ain't reconizing certain file extentions how do i load the codexes needed?

it would help if you share what distribution you use. If it's Fedora, most codecs can be installed from the Livna repository. If it's Ubuntu, codecs shouldn't be a problem at all. These issues vary from distro to distro and it's very difficult for people here to offer an exact solution if you don't tell us what distribution you use.

*blushes* oh sorry ubuntu fiesty fawn

from what I know, vlc takes care of all codecs by itself. Maybe you installed some beta or devel version. Try to install one of the stable VLC versions using the Synaptic Package Manager. Remember to uninstall the existing VLC first.

or you could try another thing besides VLC [url=http://daclubpenguin.com]Penguins of the world[/url] [Modified by: ravencin on February 15, 2008 12:13 PM]

Or are you saying that you are trying to invoke these programs from a command line and they aren't recognizing files with the above-named extensions?

Really. Thanks. I missed the posting date. Irritating indeed!
