[Solved] Adding mp3 files support to Open Office and Impress

[kramer]

Please, sorry my no so good English.

I downloaded and install Open Office 2.4.1 for Linux. My OS is ASP Linux 11.2 - it is Russian Fedora-bused distributive.

I want to create a presentation in Impress and use mp3-sound in this presentation. But when I click Insert->Movie and Sound..., Open Office writes that it doesn't support this media format. Also when I try to open mp3-sound in Open Office Media player, it shows to me that it does not support this format too.

Please, say me, what additional to Open Office must I install for mp3-files support in Open Office applications?

If you are using the Fedoras' OOo build, you only need to install all the gstreamer plug-ins available from livna.

RGB, thank you. But I downloaded OOo from OpenOffice.org. Is you advice actual?

RGB, thank you. But I downloaded OOo from OpenOffice.org. Is you advice actual?

No: the official build can only use the "java media framework" to reproduce media files.

RGB, I understand. Do you now how to add mp3-support to jmf? I downloaded and install it, but mp3-sound files is not played by it. Standard sound that included to OOo is played.

No idea, sorry, I've never used the jmf.

RGB, thank you for attempt to help.

I read jmf documentation. It does not supported MP3-format in Linux
