Totem is an application for videos which I use, simple and fast, but on Linux there are formats that I can not see. The aim of this paper is to run these video formats which previously only be reproduced under windoz, the *. wmv.

I know of three ways to install the video codecs in Debian, come with the first:

Installation of video codecs via | Marillat

First of all we lower the w32codecs

Then, as root, type: 

  Devil: ~ # dpkg-i w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb

Installation of video codecs via | Mplayer

Another way to manually install codecs, 

  Devil: ~ # apt-get install totem-xine 
  Devil: ~ # apt-get install libmad0 (to hear the audio on some. avi)

Also following the steps to offer support for Red Hat, Suse, Mandriva or other distros continue with these steps: 

  Devil: ~ # wget-c http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20061022.tar.bz2 
  Devil: ~ # tar-xjf all-20061022.tar.bz2 
  Devil: ~ # cd all-20061022 
  Devil: ~ # mkdir / usr/lib/win32 
  Devil: * ~ # mv / usr/lib/win32

Installation of video codecs via | aptitude

This is recommended for any Debian system, either sarge, etch, or zlatan sid. First of all sail debian-multimedia search for a mirror or the nearest mirror.

Already with the url that we will use Debian Multimedia what we add in the / etc / apt / sources.list

file: / etc / apt / sources.list 
  # Multimedia w32codecs 

  deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org main zlatan

Note:
The main line deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org zlatan have to change to mirror the url selected, in addition to changing zlatan by the Debian version of its system (Sarge, Etch, stable, testing etc)

It is necessary to download and install the key issues of Debian Multimedia, otherwise we are apt displays an error like the following: 

  W: GPG error: http://www.debian-multimedia.org zlatan Release: The following signatures could not be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907

Due to the error mentioned above proceed to download the file with the key issues, typing: 

  Devil: ~ # wget http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/debian-multimedia-keyring/debian-multimedia-keyring_2007.02.14_all.deb

And installed it as follows: 

  Devil: ~ # dpkg-i debian-multimedia-keyring_2007.02.14_all.deb 
  Selecting the package debian-multimedia-keyring not previously selected. 
  (Reading database ... 
  195498 files and directories currently installed.) 
  Unpacking debian-multimedia-keyring (debian-multimedia-keyring_2007.02.14_all.deb) ... 
  Setting up debian keyring-multimedia-(2007.02.14) ... 
 OK
Note:
I remind you that it is necessary to review the FAQ Debian-Multimedia because the file may change with the keyring.

Now that we have our repository configured and installed your key, we need to update: 

  Devil: ~ # aptitude update

The previous command us to deploy an updated listing of all repositories that we have configured in / etc / apt / sources.list. After conducting the above finally proceed to install codecs, typing 

  Devil: ~ # aptitude install w32codecs totem-xine libmad0

Excellent codecs are already installed, now we can play any video file (and even *. wmv) with Totem and ready ... to enjoy the latest anime fallen from bittorrent with Azureus
