i have some movies on my laptop, but they need a codec. currently i only get sound, but no video. how do i know which codec i need and where is the best place to dl? (link would be awesome)
 
well you fucking go home and get the file extension! :lol:
 
yes. its like windows media player. but exponentially better. and it's light weight, even my shitty ass computer can play high quality video.
 
You might want to pick up CCCP, if you're playing MKV files.
 
lavc has an mkv demuxer in it. it also decodes a myriad of files. I havent seen much that it cant decode.
 
I just hate vlan. It's powerful, the main feature I like is subtitles(for some reason, some subtitles doesn't work in MPC or other players). If they made the interface/gui more like MPC, it would be awesome.
 
it has a super lightweight interface thats written to support gtk and qt so you can use it on mac linux and windows. thats the reason the interface has to be designed the way it is. it's not them trying to be slick, just cross-platform compatible.
