7.04 Unable to play rmvb files correctly

[LMTDreamer]

I upgraded 6.10 to 7.04 online. After upgraded, I can not play rmvb movie files by totem-xine correctly. The movie is played, with no sound.

Have tried replacing totem-xine by totem-gstreamer and all suggested packages installed as well.

Still, totem-gstreamer can not play rmvb files. It will ask to install some package, but the package it indicated after search, gstreamer-ffmpeg, already installed.

Using MPlayer (from menu list, the command is gmplayer) can not play the file, too.

On the countrary, in terminal, type [mplayer movie.rmvb] can play the rmvb file.

It seems that since mplayer can play the file, all necessary codec should be installed. mplayer and gmplayer seems to be the same, when I [man mplayer] or [man gmplayer], the same thing showed in the terminal.

Just to add:

I downloaded w32codec_20061022-0.0_i386.deb from debian and upgraded the w32codec in 7.04.
However, totem-xine still plays the movie with no sound....

Hi there
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the development version of Ubuntu, Hardy Heron?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, there,

I've upgrade to 7.10 (actually, whole new install due to deletion my partition in a mistake). The totem installed seems working fine.

Looking forward to 8.04.

Thanks for the great work!!!
