linuxnoob Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Hello I've just installed Xubuntu, latest updates and xubuntu-restricted-extras. I have problems with AVI divx, wma etc. videos. Those are quite bad quality. In windows xp (+K-lite mega codec pack) those same videos looked good. Is there some better codecs or something for xubuntu than those xubuntu-restricted-exreas's codecs? And how I can add *.sub -subtitles to videos, with Totem? Subtitles doesn't come even the video is "video.avi" and subtitles "video.sub" in same folder. I've also tried VLC... but in that subtitles weren't working all the time (every 9th line or something) and sometimes really big font.

Elv13 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Are mplayer, VLC, Xine and totem displaying the same picture quality? The resolution does not depend on the codec, but the file itself. Different player -may- use different bluring and up scaling algorithm, try some and see if it depend on codec or player. If you still think it is the codec, copy and paste them from windows in the w32codecs folder located somewhere on your drive, but I don't think it is related to codecs.

linuxnoob Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 I solved the problem... I changed Totem's subtitle encoding settings same as subtitles. Now everything works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
