It probably uses them. .mov is h264? .mov is the old mpeg standard extension, now completely off patent, yay! What does file say about the file? For what it's worth, parole played both mp4 (h264) and mov files on my system. I know that the mplayer from rpmfusion has h264 support built in, and also mpg support for the original .mov. Both vlc and mplayer use ffmpeg under the covers, so you could just try ffplay. It's not as sophisticated as mplayer or vlc, but it usually deals well with misconfigured videos, which is what I suspect you have. I sometimes see videos like that, the creator forgot to set some default that is expected, and if the player doesn't have an internal default built in to deal with that, it fails. If the video isn't sensitive, you could paste it somewhere, and post a link, to see if someone else can play it. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/YMX2YANFLR7USEXJU7XCWJG7HNIIBDLL/
