What can I play VCDs with? I tried MPlayer, but it ran the intro scene for a few seconds and exited (I've to choose from the menu in that scene). Does Totem/Movie Player support VCD and stuff?
Update
I was able to to get tracks using mplayer vcd://
command. Nothing plays from the first track (mplayer vcd://1
), video only appears on the second track.
On VLC I could play it normally from the GUI.
Is there anyway to play VCD on the default softwares (Media Player/Banshee)?
Best Answer
VLC should be able to play VCD. Command line:
/usr/bin/vlc vcd://
or from within VLC: media, open disc:Try and find out if you get any errors while doing this command line. Maybe you need some extra codecs.
For i386 install codecs:
sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2
For amd64 install codecs:
sudo apt-get install w64codecs libdvdcss2
(but these might already be installed on your system)
