How to find what video file format a file is apart from the extension of the file itself?

Q. For example, I have an avi file....It plays in linux using SMPlayer front end...but the video does not play on Windows (VLC player)....the audio is heard though.
When you play the file in VLC Player, and press CTRL-I, it will show up the information and it will also show the encoding of the video file, for example: XVID, etc

A. I have been wondering about this myself, and have had very little luck finding a simple answer, if any at all. I myself have .avi files that when changed to the .mpeg extension somehow still play properly, yet cannot be burned using Nero, etc. as either one.

Can you install any software on linux?
Q. If i have linux, can i download any software or buy any computer game, software, etc, and will it play on linux, or is only specific software designed for linux? How does that work, how come you need seperate versions for the different OS?
i thought i clicked on general computers, not sure how this ended up in womens health?

A. hmmm, you posted this in women's health lol. but...linux is different than windows. some windows programs will run in linux, but not all as these are different platforms. whatever you buy will say what platforms it is compatible with

What is the Net View command for linux?
Q. I have been playing around with Linux a lot lately. What is the linux net view equivalent? I can't figure it out for the life of me.

A. If you are talking about a TCP/IP Networks you have a bunch of commands that can act like Netview:

users
groups - Print group names a user is in
hostname - Print or set system name
id - Print user and group id's
logname - Print current login name
printenv - Print environment variables.
uname - Print system information
who - Print who is currently logged in
whoami - Print the current user id and name (`id -un')
who

Now, if you want a command to see network share devices in a MS-Network you should use Samba.

I hope this help you.
