How To Install On Debian with Several Codecs

mplayer project home page

These step by step instructions have been tested on June 25, 2005

I have tested this how-to on Etch (Testing).

This howto only includes codecs for win32, Quicktime, RealPlayer, Live.com (streaming for protocols such as reaplayer), and some less common AVI.

Not up for doing all of this? There are unofficial debian packages provided by marillat: read more

Otherwise...

Files to download

MPlayer v1.0pre7 source - 6.6M M go here to download, or download directly from:mirror2)
(unless you have a src file of your own you wish to use)

win32codecs.tar.bz2 - 6.3 M (mirror1 | mirror2)
divx4linux-20020418.tgz - 288 K (mirror1 | mirror2)
live.2005.06.16.tar.gz - 398 K (mirror2)
qt6dlls.tar.bz2 - 2.5 M (mirror1 | mirror2)
rp8codecs.tar.bz2 - 380 K (mirror1 | mirror2) OR rp9codecs.tar.bz2 - 500 K (mirror1 | mirror2)
(some realplayer stuff wont work with 8, some won't work with 9, you just need to choose which is best for you. I use 8, so in my directions I will be using that, just change the number if you want to use 9)
