  <title>Other people can’t play the videos I made</title>

  <p>যদি আপুনি এটা ভিডিঅ' আপোনাৰ Linux কমপিউটাৰত নিৰ্মাণ কৰিছৈ আৰু Windows অথবা Mac OS ব্যৱহাৰ কৰা কাৰোবালৈ পঠাইছে, তেওঁলোকৰ ভিডিঅ'খন চলাওতে সমস্যা হব।</p>

  <p>To be able to play your video, the person you sent it to must have the
  right <em>codecs</em> installed. A codec is a little piece of software that
  knows how to take the video and display it on the screen. There are lots of
  different video formats and each requires a different codec to play it back.
  You can check which format your video is by doing:</p>

  <list>
    <item>
      <p>Open <app>Files</app> from the
      <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Right-click on the video file and select <gui>Properties</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Go to the <gui>Audio/Video</gui> or <gui>Video</gui> tab and look at
      which <gui>Codec</gui> are listed under <gui>Video</gui> and
      <gui>Audio</gui> (if the video also has audio).</p>
    </item>
  </list>

  <p>Ask the person having problems with playback if they have the right codec
  installed. They may find it helpful to search the web for the name of the
  codec plus the name of their video playback application. For example, if your
  video uses the <em>Theora</em> format and you have a friend using Windows
  Media Player to try and watch it, search for “theora windows media player”.
  You will often be able to download the right codec for free if it’s not
  installed.</p>

  <p>If you can’t find the right codec, try the
  <link href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/">VLC media player</link>. It works
  on Windows and Mac OS as well as Linux, and supports a lot of different video
  formats. Failing that, try converting your video into a different format.
  Most video editors are able to do this, and specific video converter
  applications are available. Check the software installer application to see
  what’s available.</p>

  <note>
    <p>There are a few other problems which might prevent someone from playing
    your video. The video could have been damaged when you sent it to them
    (sometimes big files aren’t copied across perfectly), they could have
    problems with their video playback application, or the video may not have
    been created properly (there could have been some errors when you saved the
    video).</p>
