What are Reddit's favorite Codec Pack Apps?
CCCP: Combined Community Codec Pack
K-Lite Codec Pack
LAVfilters
Ubuntu Restricted Extras
GStreamer
ADVANCED Codecs for Windows
Top Reddit reviews mentioning Codec Pack Apps:
cccp A codec pack thats been around for ages. "The Combined Community Codec Pack is a simple playback pack for Windows with the goal of supporting the majority of video formats in use today." No muss, no fuss.
> A similar situation arose during an interview I had with Microsoft, about Media Player. I said it was slow to start up, felt bloaty and that in comparison to VLC it was sub-standard.
Actually, and believe me I hate to say this, I've found from a few side-by-side comparisons that windows media player has superior video quality to VLC and if you use CCCP, it can play just as many formats. Sure it's a little slower to start up, but it has better contrast and color quality than VLC on the same monitor.
If you are using windows I'd recommend MPC-HC. To get it bundled with all the codecs you'd want and everything else use CCCP.
I've generally had a better experience with this and everyone who I talked to that used it has also had a great experience with it.
you probably need the right codec. download the k-lite codec pack (it has pretty much every one you'll ever need). http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm
I used CCCP before but it seems the project was dropped. I started using K-Lite over the last months but I still didn't stumbled upon any malware yet.
While VLC opens all the videos, I really like Media Player Classic. It downloads subtitles very easily, the interface is clean and easy to use, you press space to pause, lightweight as fuck… It's hard to use something else.
This pack doesn't make you put up with all that bullshit and is one of the best ones out there.~~ Fuck K-Lite.~~ Edit: I just downloaded K-lite's current installer and it is clean( i seem to remember them having bloatware in their installer a few years back) Maybe OP (and previously myself) got it from one of the sites that wrap installers in another installer that installs the bloatware first.
About VLC... I'm gonna add a tidbit.
"If VLC can't play it, you may also need the CCCP and Media Player Classic. After that, it's definitely broke."
Well, not everything. I had problems with a few high quality encodes of some anime I downloaded with VLC. If not klite, CCCP is a very good alternative, bundled with Media Player Classic.
Sursa. Știu la ce te referi, dar pe vremea aia nu era implementată o asemenea funcționalitate. Chiar și așa instalarea de suport MP3 era doar o chestiune de căutat pe Google (ceea ce el a și făcut, dar a făcut-o prost, se pare) și de instalat ubuntu-restricted-extras.
Download link to update your LAV filters!
I love how this got Spam Filter'd. x.x
Thanks for writing this up for us!
[](#fistpump)
Edit: It just got spam filter'd again... wtffff
Edit2: And again...
Edit3: Oh ffs! Lowered the spam filter settings for self posts and it immediately gets filtered again. Grr!
Edit4: There! Onto the approved submitters list with ye.
Edit5: SPAM FILTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Edit6: added LAV Filter link. This is to fix the spam filter problem OP's post was having, it is no different from the one he had in his post.
And in their beta folder you can find updated 64bit version, wich I do not know why isn't set as not beta. It is really the best. MPC >>> VLC
>They don't automatically loop like gifs
There's an extension that does that
>You can't get an extension that prevents them from playing immediately like Gif Delayer
Navigate to about:config
Search for the property "media.autoplay.enabled"
Set it to false
Now unless the player is scripted (in the case of Gfycat), and set up to autoplay, it will not. If you are looking at the raw file, it will not autoplay.
>Some of the charm of gifs was that they had to be short, but people are making super long gifs that might as well just be movie clips
Not sure how this is a problem with WebM or HTML5 video...
>There aren't any slideshow programs that can view both gifs and webm
You can use practically any media player to automatically play through all video files in a folder, for example Media Player Classic Home Cinema (recommended you download the CCCP release that contains this rather than it on its own)
>You can use Quick Look on Mac to preview gifs without opening them, but you cannot use it to preview webms
That would be a limitation of your OS, not WebM.
To be fair, if you get the CCCP nowadays then you can play almost everything anyway. VLC has improved a lot this year but up until recently it was slow and buggy when compared to software like Media Player Classic (which is still a lot more zippier and smooth than VLC).
Firefox win64 is still baking and had a few releases that kinda worked, but it sucked because no plugins worked. K-Lite rolled everything together into one.
This is likely because the fonts being used don't have support for those characters. If you were using Ubuntu I would suggest installing this and some other packages. You'll have to figure out what to do on CrunchBang as I'm not familiar with it; hopefully it gives you a place to start.
Instead of VLC, I recommend Media Player Classic using the Combined Community Codec Pack (MPC-HC + CCCP) as it will play pretty much everything with no hiccups. One bug I ran into happens if you use an nvidia gpu and have upgraded to windows 10. All you have to do is disable P10 in the LAV settings of cccp
I use a codec pack CCCP, and WMP plays any crazy file type I can imagine. I don't like VLC player because It always gives me some annoying little errors, like AV sync problems or skipping on HD movies. WMP may not have all your fancy options, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
No. No, you don't.
Use the x86 version. It has much better compatibility because of some ffdshow codecs.
- Get this: http://www.cccp-project.net/
- Get CoreAVC 3.0.1. It's mostly used for slower computers, but it's a much better decoder.
- (Optional) Replace the "\Combined Community Codec Pack\MPC\" folder with this. It looks much better than the Win95 look, IMO.
- Open CCCP settings. Select CoreAVC under "Alternative H.264 Decoders"
- Open MPC-HC, and hit O for settings. Under "Output" change the resizer to "Bicubic A=-0.60 (PS 2.0)".
- Go to "Subtitles", set "Sub pictures to buffer" to "0", set "Maximum texture resolution" to "Desktop", and uncheck "Round up to power of two".
- ???
- PROFIT!!
Congrats. You should now be able to decode errrrything. Including the new Hi10P h264 profile that's just started appearing. This new profile doesn't work with DXVA (decoding using the graphics card), so CoreAVC is your weapon of choice. Step 6 involves tweaking subtitle options to increase the resolution. This is compulsary if you watch anime fansubs, otherwise you will end up with a artifacty, upscaled mess.
If anyone's struggling, let me know. This is complicated stuff XD
Dear Ubuntu user, have you read this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
Most commercial DVDs are encrypted with CSS (the Content Scrambling System), which attempts to restrict the software that can play a DVD
Note, I'm not a distroist.
install this: http://www.cccp-project.net/
never need a codec again.
EDIT: nvm it isn't being updated anymore
see k-lite instead or see below comments: https://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm
Are you using VLC or Windows Media Player? If so, then it's time to move on to Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC). It's light weight and it plays virtually all formats.
If the file is still giving you trouble for some reason, then go ahead and download this codec pack: http://www.cccp-project.net/
Media Player Classic with either Combined Community Codec Pack or Kawaii Codec Pack. The player is included with the codec pack, btw.
edit: Added links.
A quick look seems to suggest that this version of it has Danish, Norwegian, Swedish & English subtitles:
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/6580714/Matador_1978-2006_(Danish_TV-serie.)
If you use uTorrent or similar then you can choose to only download the .7z file with the Subtitles inside. I can probably mirror the Danish subtitles by themselves for you in a little while. :)
Edit: Yep, there's Danish subs in that release. They're in idx/sub format, do you know how that works?
Media Player Classic Home Cinema + DirectVobSub = easy peasy. Pretty sure they are both included in the CCCP codec pack: http://www.cccp-project.net/
Do you have "dvdcss" installed? This is the library that handles the DRM on the dvd.
You have to install this or Ubuntu will be sued. The movie companies didn't want you to play dvd's unless they were paid their money. So the Russian's hacked the encryption because of a poorly programmed and reviewed encryption method. The Russian's released the dvdcss program was released to the world. It is now too late to fix the problem, because lots of dvd players would stop working.
See libdvdcss
Sounds to me like you don't know how to pick the right distro.
Installing and updating graphics card drivers can be done by selecting Hardware Drivers in the System menu.
If you want to install beta drivers or something like that, and you're unsatisfied with the install procedure, take it up with the people who make your graphics card. Or, you know, just read a freaking help page on the wiki, which walks you through it step by step. Soooo difficult.
Thanks for the laugh though. Get rid of the terminal on Linux. That's fucking hilarious.
Uh, no. According to the gstreamer website:
> GStreamer Bad Plug-ins is a set of plug-ins that aren't up to par compared to the rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing something - be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live maintainer, or some actual wide use.
Sounds like it's related to code quality and testing to me, no mention of patents.
In addition to other comments I'd like to add that color is handled differently, giving you 'more' color without a film on top of the video. You can google some vlc vs mpc screenshots but generally it's most apparent in animation videos - especially with a lot of color or darkness.
Also another thing most people wouldn't care about is subtitle support. It handles pretty much everything. This is sometimes necessary for stylized subtitles on some anime series and films. (some special usage of subtitles include replacing signs that are in japanese, chinese, russian etc.).
This assumes you are using at least decent filters. Like LAV splitter, haali, madVR..
There are projects that include mpc 'preconfigured' with these kinds of filters. You can check out CCCP and KCP http://www.cccp-project.net http://haruhichan.com/forum/showthread.php?7545-KCP-Kawaii-Codec-Pack
Try downloading this codec pack, I have yet to find something that this can't play http://www.cccp-project.net/ If you try that and it still doesn't work then you have another problem besides software.
Sounds like you might be missing some codecs. I recommend using VLC Media player (as it will play nearly any kind of media file) http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html and if you still can't get any video, install the CCCP codec pack, http://www.cccp-project.net/
I ordered a copy of Steins;gate since the anime was fantastic and a lot of people recommended the VN. My copy has finally come in and it looks like it's borked. It starts fine but after the disclaimer it crashes every time. I'm running Windows 8.1 and I've tried various compatibility modes, moving the install (after reinstalling) and Googling hasn't been helpful. If anyone could lend a hand I would be super appreciative.
EDIT: JAST support got back to me and of all things were able to offer a fix on the first try without so much as asking for a log or anything beyond when it crashed. It was a codec issue which was resolved using this.
Make sure you have the proper files to decode the DVDs. You also need to make sure the region of your DVD player matches the region of the DVDs. Region can be changed in the command line to your liking.
This post may be helpful.
You need to install it to play non-free media formats like H.264: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
If you go to https://www.youtube.com/html5 you can see what formats your browser/OS currently supports
Have you been through all of this? If so, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras might be worth a try, but libdvdcss2 (instructions are in that link) should be all you need. VLC is great if the preinstalled totem isn't working for you.
Ty man!
I'm a brazilian teen, so while I'm young I had my fair share of piracy. Never cracked them myself, instead just bought already pirated copies lol
download the combined community codec pack. http://www.cccp-project.net/
also download AC3Filter. Setup AC3filter as your audio decoder (in media player classic / CCCP config). When a movie plays, you'll get the AC3Filter tray icon.
you'll have all the sound options you can ever dream of. Multi-band equalizer, level adjusting, dynamic range compression, and on-the-fly conversion of the audio stream to a format of your choice.
for most movies, you just have to set the dynamic range compression to max. this conjoins the explosions and voices to about the same volume level.
since you may be going the media player classic way, i suggest if you have an NVIDIA card, that you also eventually setup MADVR for the best quality experience.
once you get everything setup, you will never go back to VLC.
also, what you are experiencing is not a result of poor speakers. You are most likely playing 5 channel audio on a 2 channel source. you are only getting the front left and front right channels of audio on your stereo speakers/headphones. Most dialog occurs in the center channel, so what you hear in stereo is just the ambiance of the voices that are focused in the center channel.
The one I found in the pirate location had comments complaining about the audio but it was fine for me. Probably just have a wrong/outdated audio codecs 'cause mine was fine. I use the Kawaii Codec Pack but CCCP is fine too.
Yep, it crashed. I had VLC running when I opened BC2 and instantly VLC crashed. Uninstall VLC! Use MPC-HC.
Tried the same thing and media player didn't crash when I opened BC2
I've been a computer tech for 22 years, been messing with codecs for like 10... I haven't heard of this until today... and not sure why I'd even need to use it if basic mp4 codecs work fine and you can get them for free through DIVX support and my personal favorite: CCCP - Combined Community Codec Pack
[edit] thanks for the replies, I'm less clueless on this matter now
[](/hmmm) Do you have any codec pack installed? I'm going to gather that it does that because it's trying to render the thumbnails for the video and fails. You can try desinstalling any codec pack you have and installing this one, maybe that will work.
If you know your stuff: Set it up like [this](imouto.my/watching-h264-videos-using-compute-unified-device-architecture-cuda/)
If you're not a computer expert: Just install this
I also recommend using the BE Mod version of MPC-HC available at XvidVideo.ru
>I also notice that there isn't a subtitle file in the folder, which I've never seen happen before, but I thought
That's the main reason people use mkv - it's a container that can hold any number of styles (.ass) softsubs. You don't need to load them, as they should be set to default (so they display automatically).
One of the many problems with VLC is its issues with softsubs - though the newer version seems to have fixed your problem.
You should upgrade to CCCP/MPC-HC.
Other benefits:
- No broken seek bar
- No garbled image when seeking
- Ordered chapters
- GPU acceleration
- Better colour conversion
- Better plugin support
etc
>He said Windows Media Centre was mainly only used to watch DVDs. Until the update arrives, watching DVDs will require separate playback software.
Or you could download and install the K-Lite Codec Standard Pack which comes with Media Player Classic Home Cinema and all the codecs you could want in order to view almost any material.
Sure it can, you have two choices:
1- The legal option is to purchase "Fluendo DVD Player" from the Ubuntu Software Center.
2- The legally dubious option is to crack DVD encryption by installing libdvdcss by using the procedure here:

Gentoo for example..but I assume most distro have it. In gentoo it is possible to install 0.10 in parallel to the 1.x versions...I assume it's the same for other distros. The problem is not the distro...it's the programs you use. If they are programmed against 0.10 then that will be the dependency they need...if they are written against 1.x the newer library will be pulled in. It's not a distro thing...it's a application thing.
I'm assuming what's happening is your player is trying to decode HEVC files on the CPU, which it's too slow. No problem though, because you can use your GTX 1080 to accelerate the video!
You need to install LAV Filters and enable CUVID in the video options, which will let the GTX handle all the heavy lifting. In DeoVR, enable the DirectShow option to use this decoder.

Tutorial (for slightly different player/codec pack but check the LAV Filters section for some screenshots)
Good luck fellow VR lover!
I like Media Player Classic. You may also need CCCP depending on the files you're trying to play. I'm not a huge fan of VLC but I'm honestly shocked you prefer WMP over it.
alternatively
http://haruhichan.com/forum/showthread.php?7545-KCP-Kawaii-Codec-Pack
Read up on both and make your choice, they're the two best MPC-HC codedc packs. You can also look into how to modify madVR/LAV settings too to get the most out of them.
I now watch on TV but when I couldn't and .mkv wouldn't work for me I downloaded CCCP on my old computer. This made it work perfectly fine but this was some time ago. On my new laptop, VLC opens .mkv files perfectly fine.
You could still try though - http://www.cccp-project.net/
CCCP - Combined Community Codec Pack is a windows codec pack that'll play 99.99% of the videos found on the internet and doesn't contain any necessary BS programs that will mess with your computers. As a mac user it isn't going to work for you, wish I could help. For all pc users I highly recommend you all delete whatever you are using now and just use CCCP and the Media Player Classic that comes with it.
Media Player Classic is what I use. The only time I need to bother with VLC's half-baked interface is when I need to watch amateur pornography from a Taiwanese cell phone.
The interface is slick, the options are intuitively placed in an Options menu, things like subtitles and such are easily selectable, its basically a perfect player. VLC is meant to be powerful, and ends up being clunky because of it.
Grab the CCCP-project pack. It should have everything you need, if you don't have it already.
I'd just like to point out that the Lagarith codec is included in the K-Lite Codec Pack Mega, which I talked about here.
Any brand, just use a well known brand. Linux will work with any external DVD drive.
To watch movies or burn .mp3 files to CD's. You need the codecs for it to work.
The issue is that there is still a lot that doesn't work out of the box. Linux can't play Bluray movies without some really hacky stuff in VLC. DVDs require the download of an additional library to play. I haven't done an install for a while, so I can't say if mp3 playback is native now or if you have to install a separate library for that as well. Games are hit and miss, with more miss than hit. That's changing, but not quickly, and generally not for AAA titles from the biggest publishers.
And despite the horse Linux proponents like to beat to death, it doesn't always just work. I can't tell you the countless hours I've spent on some of my computers trying to get a driver to work properly, getting dual screens to behave the way they should, or getting a printer to print properly. For all the issues I've had with Windows, basic hardware compatibility has never been one.
Sounds like semantics to me. If it is patent-encumbered then I would say it isn't libre.
Dont know though as I recall Adobe has poor(er) support for the 64-bit version of Flash on Linux, but perhaps Flash 32 for 64-bit might be of help the guide is from Ubuntu but should work on any Debian-based distro.
Also, I'd reccommend giving Linux Mint a try they tend to have the nonfree codecs pre-configured
The reason you were having issues with VLC was because VLC, even on Linux, packages its codecs with the executable binary- it therefore has a stronger out-of-the-box experience, but it's not expandable for some of the more obscure systems you might encounter with fansubs.
Mplayer, however, draws off of separately installed codecs. If you have a Debian or Ubuntu-based system (which, for the sake of convenience, I'm assuming you have,) go to www.medibuntu.org and use their repository. You'll want their versions of libavdevice, libavcodec, libdvdcss2, libavfilter, libavformat, libavutil, W32codecs (or W64 if you're using a 64bit OS), mplayer, and mencoder. If you do not have a Debian-based system, I would go poking around and try to find the Red Hat equivalent for these packages.
While you're at it, as well, install all of the unrestricted versions of the gstreamer packages- Good, Bad, and Ugly. You can find them with synaptic.
With all of those installed, (and with the DVD decryption system enabled, you'll be left with a system that is more capable with more formats even than a Windows machine using CCCP.
Moreover, since mplayer serves as the back-end of XBMC, install that as well and you'll have a media organization system to match your playback system.
Depending on the target environment, I'd use either QtMultimedia via PyQt5 or gstreamer via GObject Introspection. They both seem to lack any documentation for Python, though. Using QtMultimedia should be easier as PyQt5 maps C++ classes 1:1 into Python.
You might want to try the older standalone release of DeoVR: http://deovr.com/
Download the 'Vive' release. The newer Steam version looks promising but as it's a rewrite in progress it's missing some of the features of the older version, and maybe there are performance issues. It's just a guess, but it's worth a shot.
With the standalone, use the hardware accelerated batch file that is included. You also want to install LAVFilters and enable Direct Show support in DeoVR. You might also need to configure LAVFilters to enable hardware acceleration, but I can't remember the process off the top of my head (should be simple).
Are you sure you followed the instructions on the pcgamingwiki for disabling the blizzard codec properly?
First you install the lav filters (x86, even if your computer is x64, also use the installer not just the zip(it registers the codecs last time I looked at it))
https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases
Then you must open a command prompt as administrator >cd PATH-TO-W3-HERE
>regsvr32 /u blizzard.ax
You could also make a bat file inside the same directory as War3.exe and place
>regsvr32 /u blizzard.ax
inside it and then right click and run that as admin.
then delete blizzard.ax
I just tested this on a clean windows 10 VM and the cutscenes worked properly after following those directions. Also, worked on the main computer I use as well
I had a crash right after completing a mission, and the game publisher's Help Desk recommended the following:
>It looks like you have an access violation crash, could you try downloading the CCCP codec and installing it: http://www.cccp-project.net/download.php?type=cccp64
>If that doesn't work can you please ensure the following:
>Add steam.exe and battletech's .exe to the Exceptions list of your antivirus app. (Especially if you have Bitdefender)
>Ensure Steam.exe and battletech's .exe have admin rights in their properties -> compatibility tab (Right click exe to go to properties)
>Go into Windows Defender Security Center -> Virus & Threat Protection -> Virus & Threat Protection settings. Allow the steam and game.exe files through via "Allow an app through controlled folder access"
I haven't had any other crashes since.
Also, a post launch opt-in beta is available. In Steam, go to the game's Properties, click Beta tab, and select the Public Beta. Not sure what the steps are on GOG.
It's probably a codec issue, since you're on XP (Why are you still on XP!?) due to the fact that gifv is basically just a package for an MP4 or WebM video, that is set to autoloop and hide controls.
You may be able to have it play by installing a codec pack, such as the CCCP
It's actually a pretty common acronym for techies.
CCCP = Combined Community Codec Pack
"The Combined Community Codec Pack is a simple playback pack for Windows with the goal of supporting the majority of video formats in use today."
For example if you have a video that won't play, or you have some other sort of playback problem, the simplest (but arguably maybe not the best) solution is to just get the CCCP, which will install a whole pack of the latest codecs that support any video you might be trying to play. The usually better recommendation though is to just get the latest version of a decent player like MPC-HC, VLC, or KMPlayer.
edit: I realize the soviet union joke now as well.
I recommend using the CCCP Project to install MPC. It's a pack that has MPC-HC along with a lot of extras.
Then I would follow this guide. However you may not wanna enable MadVR since that basically just makes it use your GPU instead of your CPU (and you're on integrated so).
It definitely looks better than VLC for me. Especially with cartoons and anime.
CCCP. (Combined Community Codec Pack). Comes with media player classic and a great set of video codecs.
Side-by-side with VLC, its much, much better.
When installing it might look like a bombardment of options, but the defaults are all fine. Just click next. :D
Standard format. Videos use the .MOV container and are encoded using H.264. VLC works well. If you don't have that then the CCCP Codec Pack will power whatever you normally use.
MPC-HC by itself isn't anything remarkable, but if you use it as part of the Combined Community Codec Pack (included in CCCP's installer) you get access to better and more efficient codecs and such.
tbh though it's only really relevant for fansubbed anime, where the amount of effort that gets put into typesetting signs in the subtitle track itself means that VLC has historically been unable to accurately decode and render stuff (that and the majority of fansubbers target their releases to the current version of CCCP - it's what's guaranteed to work, and this usually entails requiring cutting edge technologies. Seriously.). It's also been known to do stuff in non-standard ways, leading to bugs and glitches in the decoding.
VLC's a lot better than it used to be now, and for the average Joe it literally does not fucking matter.
I use MPC (media player classic) that comes with the CCCP package.
But as someone else said, it probably is a problem bigger than VLC itself. Probably you've installed conflicting codecs or something.
Or the files you got are corrupted by a bad download.
As I said on another post in this very same thread, I'd argue that the Combined Community Codec Pack (Windows only, sadly) is a better option than the K-Lite codec and already comes with MPC Home Cinema, a slightly more streamlined version of MPC.
if you have MPCHC, go to File -> Save Thumbnails...
other than that, sometimes i just cap random points in my video with VLC since it caps in the correct aspect ratio (per single cap). but you'd have to put those together manually.
If you are using Windows: CCCP
If you are using OS X : Hermi's MPlayer
This is important as some groups will go as far as not making their realises playable via VLC because of the hate it has in the community.
You're right on the BD translation. In Madoka, they added extra scenes in the BD, and everything looks much, much nicer.
Don't get VLC. Get CCCP.
It's a codec pack that comes with all the codecs you'll need, and a media player called Media Player Classic-Home Cinema. That will play basically any file you'll ever come across, and it plays it much smoother.
http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/pos2m/vlc_20_arriving_this_week/
Look through some of these comments to see why.
I recommend this codec-pack that bundles MPC:
Nope. Which is why I'd choose IE, which isn't even that bad anymore. Also, if you haven't heard of it, I personally prefer Media Player Classic (you'll need CCCP though) over VLC.
I'm biased against VLC because I tried to use it a few years ago when I was into anime. The subtitle support was AWFUL (that's been fixed though). There's also still a bit of a problem with skipping to different times by dragging the seek bar. Sometimes VLC will completely bug out and put weird green/purple blocks all over the screen. It did it years ago and it still does it today.
Personally, I use CCCP + Media Player Classic HC (included) and I'll never look back. I've found that it uses less resources than VLC and is just all around a bit less buggy. ffdshow makes it very easy to adjust anything I want too. Plus, I like the look of it when you toggle off everything but the seek bar so it's just the movie.
That said though, I have VLC installed. It's really excellent for online streams and playing broken files. I like that it's portable too.
http://www.cccp-project.net/ use CCCP & MPC, watch anime without glitches = win if you have a nvidia or amd graphics card tick DXVA H264 in CCCP settings for hardware decoding (better less glitchy shit).
Download CCCP, which comes with Media Player Classic Home Cinema. Link is here. Not only does it play it better, it's actually a couple notches clearer and brighter than default settings on VLC.
I never use VLC with anime (or anything really) anymore. CCCP handles everything perfectly with regards to anime watching. It's great.
History repeats itself.
Try downloading this codec pack. If unsure just use full.
Could be a codec. But I have never heard of zoomplayer. I use CCCP it comes with MPCHC built in and uses codecs that you can customise to your likening. Here's a link: http://www.cccp-project.net/ Edit: Oops just re-read your comment you could replace zoomplayer with MPCHC and see if its the player. If MPCHC does the same thing it might be your codecs. Which you could uninstall them and replace them with KLite plugins. Link: http://www.codecguide.com/download_k-lite_codec_pack_mega.htm
couple of other things that could be causing it too:
- corrupt audio codecs, do you have a codec pack installed? Try installing the latest version or grab K-Lite Codec Pack Standard
- the launcher's coded in MS Visual C++, try uninstalling the Redistributable & reinstalling it
See the provided readme, you need the K-Lite codec pack: http://www.codecguide.com/
The piece was done by the english company Visualise and the BBC. Visualise did a virtual reality tour of london before: http://visualise.com/news/2013/09/oculus-rift-london-virtual-tourism-experience
Did you load the K-Lite video codecs? They're needed to view most videos.
What should happen is you see a white screen until the video is loaded. We're able to put a screenshot up (click to play for example). If there's further problems, post on the /r/JanusVR sub-reddit.
I think I speak for a good number of reddittors when I suggest Videolan VLC player, and tack on the K-lite mega codec pack. With those two you ought to be able to play pretty much anything the Internet throws at you, video-wise at least.
I Fixed this by Installing the LAVFilters (most recent) :
https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases
And Setting the game to Fullscreen from the Engine window -> Visuals -> Fullscreen.
Everytime I tried to get through the movie (I wanted to watch it... ) it would Blackscreen when in Windowed mode.
I use what ever works. libdvdcss2 is in my repositories. If it was illegal then I don't know why it's so easy to access this package.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
I guess there is a warning to check your laws.
Legal warning: Check with your local laws to make sure usage of libdvdcss2 would be legal in your area.
So use at your own risk. Checkout your local laws if your worry about it.
It's been a while since I've played DVDs on my computer, but have a look at this page:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
Looks like you might need to install libdvd-pkg
sudo apt update & sudo apt install libdvd-pkg
DVD's as in movies?
Make sure you install all your restricted codes + libdvdread4
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/MP3
Install the gstreamer0.10-fluendo-plugins-mp3-partner gstreamer plugin from the partner repository.
To encode to MP3 graphically using VLC, install vlc and libavcodec-extra-52 (available from multiverse). Then open VLC and select "File > Convert/Save"
To play some mp3 files in rhythmbox you need to install the w32codecs package from the Medibuntu repository. If you are using the 64 bit version of Ubuntu you will need the w64codecs package instead.
Some gstreamer players (like Listen) require gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
What kind of gaming? Windows games are mostly difficult to get running in Linux using wine or from third-party wine applications.
I game also, but I use native Linux games.
Surfing the the web is easy in Linux. What default browser are you using?
LibreOffice is a native software for Linux. Enjoy.
Now I would suggest downloading all the restricted-codecs to enjoy all media that you will come across. What Linux distro are you using? If Ubuntu........
ubuntu-restricted-extras
Step 1: libdvdread4
Step 2: dd if=/dev/opticaldrive of=/home/user/image.iso
Obviously substitute opticaldrive for your actual device ID.
> Most commercial DVDs are encrypted with CSS (the Content Scramble System), which attempts to restrict the software that can play a DVD.
Statement extracted from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs with special attention to the terms "encrypted" and "attempts to restrict the software", which explain why Ubuntu would conflict -- by default -- with DVD media.

Your Linux LiveCD/DVD is a bootable disk. You spin the included operating system which runs in a computer's memory. You have a choice to install now or take a look at the operating system. Which from there you can install Linux also.
Not everything works out of the box sometimes. It all depends on the hardware you are using. The test run on the LiveCD/DVD will include you in. If things will work or not.
But, with some research. You can get most any hardware to work in Linux.
Must have software is always the restricted-extras that might or might not be included. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
I think there is a codec for it, if not, just sandbox the bluray driver in wine.
Arch wiki has something on it https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/BluRay.
As does Ubuntu community wiki. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxcommand/files/TLCL/09.12/TLCL-09.12.pdf/download is a free PDF that's a good introduction to learning the command line.
In a couple weeks Ubuntu 12.04 will be released, and you will be able to upgrade to it. It has a completely different GUI than what you're using now. However 10.04 will be supported for another year, so you don't need to make a decision to upgrade right away.
You'll need to install some codecs and stuff to watch videos/movies: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
I'm sorry but this is a terrible question. You haven't told us even the most rudimentary facts such as what distro this is or what software you're using. Please read the sidebar.
With that out of the way, the issue is most likely that you're using a distro that does not ship libdvdcss for legal reasons. There is usually a precompiled and prepackaged binary hosted on some non-US server that you can choose to install. If this is ubuntu, then have a look here. Google as appropriate for your distro.
