English Multimedia
#1

I am trying to open a .MOV video from a Macintosh user on ny Tumbleweed system. The video opens with VLC but I only get audio. The error message was

VLC could not decode the format “m2v1” (No description for this codec).

I have tried installing VLC codecs from Packman. using the follownig command:
zypper install --from packman ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-{good,bad,ugly,libav} libavcodec-full vlc-codecs

What am I doing wrong?

Before any multi-media usage you should always “switch vendor” to Packman:

zypper dup --from packman

(assuming that packman is the Alias or Name from your Packman repo definition as your post suggests).

Only after that it is useful to ask here about multi-media problems.
