| Support for WMV, RealMedia and other formats can be found in the w64codecs package (w32codecs for 32-bit Ubuntu). However, this package is not available in the Ubuntu repositories for legal reasons but can be obtained from the Medibuntu repositories. | NOTE: w64codecs only contains a handful of realplayer codecs and does not fully replace w32codecs. If you need to play a format only supported by w32codecs, you will need to install w32codecs to /usr/lib32 and use a 32-bit version of mplayer (or an alternate method for running 32-bit apps, such as a chroot or virtualbox). |
