Se tem realizado um vídeo na sua computador GNU/Linux e enviou-o a alguém que use Windows ou Mac VOS, é possível que tenham problemas para reproduzir o vídeo.
Para poder reproduzir seu vídeo, a pessoa à que o enviou deve ter os codecs adequados instalados. Um codec é uma pequena peça de software que sabe como tirar o vídeo e mostrar no ecrã. Há muitos formatos de vídeo diferentes e a cada um requer um codec para se reproduzir. Pode verificar o formato de seu vídeo fazendo o seguinte:
Abra
Carregue com o botão direito do rato sobre o ficheiro de vídeo e selecione
Vá à flange
Ask the person having problems with playback if they have the right codec installed. They may find it helpful to search the web for the name of the codec plus the name of their video playback application. For example, if your video uses the Theora format and you have a friend using Windows Media Player to try and watch it, search for “theora windows media player”. You will often be able to download the right codec for free if it’s not installed.
If you can’t find the right codec, try the VLC media player. It works on Windows and Mac OS as well as Linux, and supports a lot of different video formats. Failing that, try converting your video into a different format. Most video editors are able to do this, and specific video converter applications are available. Check the software installer application to see what’s available.
There are a few other problems which might prevent someone from playing your video. The video could have been damaged when you sent it to them (sometimes big files aren’t copied across perfectly), they could have problems with their video playback application, or the video may not have been created properly (there could have been some errors when you saved the video).
