Hello all!

I have a question, how can I bring .wmv and .wma files to work in vlc?

Thanks for the answers.

if you download this http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releas ... 12.tar.bz2
and extract it in /usr/lib/win32 you can play wmv and wma with Mplayer, Totem and Noatun
I don't know about VLC because i've never used it but i suppose this should work also with it

Be aware that the WMV codecs are proprietary and possibly illegal, but if you're willing to use non-free stuff (I'm not) and take the risk (I would) then you can install that.

Isn't there a w32codecs package in marillat's apt repo?

Yes there is. And, as you say... it's probably illegal but the jury is still out on that one I think. Some say that if you have a legal windows licence it's ok, some say 'no way'...

Anyway, for those that don't care about the legal stuff, Marillat's repo is:

# MARILLAT NON-FREE
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main

Thank you all!

As for the legal stuff...I think Debian is the most legal software on my PC.

Anyways really thanks for help, I get many emails with .wmv attached and it's annoying if you can't reply what you think of it.

Now that's good, becouse I'm addicted to anime and it's nice to know I'm not the only "bad" guy around here.
