VCD - what program can play it?

[liquid]

... VLC cannot. Or it is wrong configured and I don't know what to change. Can anyone give a solution?

oops, sorry.

kubuntu 10.4 - obviously
installed windows and linux side by side, starting with grub2
kde 4.4.5
PC - desktop
intel i5 64b
graphics integrated
6GB RAM
2 HDD 700GB each
DVD LG

VLC 1.0.6

Maybe it's enough information about my PC.
VLC can play VCD on windows at the same PC.

Re: VCD - what program can play it?

You need to have installed the required codecs to play DVDs and their ilk.

See HOWTO: Add the Medibuntu Repository and GPG Key

After you have added the Medibuntu repository and key, you need to install the required packages. Follow the instructions on the linked site:
6. Playing Encrypted DVDs (1. With the entire Medibuntu repository)
and
7. Playing Non-Native Media Formats (1. With the entire Medibuntu repository).

You should then be fine.

Just to be sure: does it work for kubuntu as well?

Yup.

Re: VCD - what program can play it?

Just wondering why Medibuntu doesn't support Maverick as of yet? It's going to be released in less than two weeks now!
http://packages.medibuntu.org/

Only Hardy-Lucid there.

Re: VCD - what program can play it?

My guess is that when Maverick is out of testing.

I cheated a little bit:
added:

deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid free non-free

to /etc/apt/sources.list

Then went to synaptic did reload and it gave a key error.

Installed the key from within synaptic.

Will rename it to maverick when maverick is final.

I tried Medibuntu startting with what they suggest to do at the beginning. Look what happened after given set of commands:

$ sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.


Generally, I didn't make a big step forward.
Watching at this, I don't think there happened any installation and I don't understand this.
Anyone to help me again, please?

Re: VCD - what program can play it?

Try switching Servers.

Open Software Sources (K > System > Software Sources > Download from:) and then run the command again.

Re: VCD - what program can play it?

Some European countries prohibit / limit what you can download from the Internet. Germany for example, has very strict laws governing copyrighted content - codecs needed for playing commercial DVDs and such. Some countries actually block sites that contain this content, preventing downloading of the content. Trying a server in another country 'sometimes' bypasses these imposed blocks.
