Movies on Fedora Core 7
I have the VLC software working with copyrighted DVD's on Fedora
Core 6. It was easy to do. All I did was this: # yum install vlc and it
took awhile because there were over 10 dependant rpm's that needed to be
included. When it was all over I put a DVD in the reader and watched it
full screen! It was amazing.
Today I'm on Fedora 7 which, by the way is working just fine so far,
and I expect to stay here. But I tried to get vlc and it didn't work. I
asked on this list and got a lot of answers but 2 were critical to
getting vlc working on Fedora 7.
I learned I needed another place to get software with yum. I got a
lot of hints. But then I heard from Nigel Henry and Gary Harthill. Gary
has been around and he has made rpm files of the proper files to make
yum work. It is at http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/ and the web page is
very clear. They could use some help.
The yum was successful and I have turned it on and it works, but. I
can see and hear small files on my computer that are .wmv types. But
can't watch DVD Movies. This is where Nigel suggested I need one more
file that will make viewing copyrighted DVD' possible. We tried a couple
that didn't work and then I went to my FC6 /usr/lib/ and found the name
we were looking for. I put it in yum and it was loaded and it works.
What I used is:
# yum install libdvdcss.i386 0:1.2.9-4.lvn6 and it worked great. So
here is all you need to do to get vlc working. I suggest you delete
totem which claims to show movies but can't.
