Video Problem-Picture delay

Angelosbg · 01-24-2009, 07:07 PM

I have installed Linux Mint for the first time,so you can understand that I am a newbie.
I have a problem with every player I use.
When I watch an avi,an mpeg or whatever the picture has a small delay compared to sound.I have installed the ubuntu restricted extras and I didn;t find a solution.

What else can you suggest?

Hi,

So what distro are we talking about now, Mint, or Ubuntu. It will make a difference?

Cheers!

We are talking about linux mint.
As I know they are similar enough these two,mint and ubuntu

Hi,

You said that you installed the "restricted extras". Do you mean the repositories that allow you to play MPEG files? Also, which ones did you install, and what program are you using to watch videos?

Cheers!

The problem happens with all the video players.

And yes,as far as I know,the repositories are extras for the mpeg files,in order to be able to play everything
