Ubuntu

3gp no audio

Asked by Savvas Radevic

I have a 3gp file that I tried to play with several media players, all have failed:
VLC - distorted audio output (like loud bee buzzing/distortion)
Mplayer - no audio
Totem gstreamer - no audio

The videos have been taken with my mobile, Sony Ericsson W810i
What's the deal? I've installed every codec I could think of and from medibuntu.org:
lame vorbis-tools flac ffmpeg liblame0 gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-gl gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse libxine1-ffmpeg libxine1-plugins audacious-plugins audacious-plugins-extra audacious-plugins-ugly libdvdread3 w64codecs

Here's the sample movie:

Here's the gspot screenshot (on vmware running windows):

I read something that could resolve it (the part entitled "phone video"):

But before I go trying out stuff, can anyone confirm that posted solution would solve it?

I searched the internet a bit more, I finally managed to figure out a solution:
install realplayer from https://player.helixcommunity.org/2005/downloads/

I have ubuntu amd64, but the alien program couldn't help a lot:

$ sudo alien RealPlayer-10.0.9.809-20070726.i586.rpm
Package build failed. Here's the log:

dh_gencontrol: command returned error code 65280
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1
find: RealPlayer-10.0.9.809: No such file or directory

So I downloaded the .bin package and installed realplay in /homer/myuser/RealPlayer :)
And now it works!
