Help for a Linux Newbie With Video (Edubuntu - Edgy Edge)

[Simon Ruiz]

Mike,
 
Hey, if you're starting with a fresh install, I would definitely suggest trying out the advice at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats before giving up until April.
 
If that doesn't work, then I'm not sure that waiting until April would make any difference.
 
HTH,
 
Sim?n

Uwe,
Thanks.  That helps quite a bit.If I can't get it working following the
other suggestions, I may just wait until April for the beta test for the
teachers in whose classrooms I wanted to initially roll it out.

Simon, thanks also for your suggestions.  Still couldn't get quicktime to
work correctly with the files.  I think I just have tinkered with it too
much; when I try to play something now, I just get a "no video" message.  I
wiped the partition on one of the computers and started a fresh install last
night before I left work.  Given what Uwe said, I think I may just wait
until April before I do anything else with it though.

Thanks,

Mike
