how to convert mp4 to mp3 on ubuntu...

If you wanna export the audio from the .MP4 video file then use ffmpeg,
you can do this all the time from FLV files. Firstly install ffmpeg,
with command bellow:

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-unstripped-*

and then use this command here:
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -f mp3 -ab 192000 -vn music.mp3

It might say that your missing some codecs for MP4, in that case just run below,
find it and install.

aptitude search codecname

How to fix black windows during video playback

How to fix black windows during video playback
  • There is a workaround to this bug by changing the video output device on your video player to x11/xshm. (Note that this will decrease the quality of the video output and requires a lot more CPU.)
  • For gstreamer-dependent players (Totem, etc.):
gstreamer-properties
Video-->Default Video Plugin: X Window System (No Xv)

Click Test to verify that video playback is working (you should be able to see the standard TV testing colour stripes).

  • For VLC player(if installed):
VLC-->Settings-->Preferences
Video-->Output modules-->Advanced: X11
  • For MPlayer (if installed):
Mplayer-->Right-click on the screen-->Preferences
Video-->Available Drivers: X11 (XImage/Shm)

Some users report that MPlayer may not be able to show videos in full screen.

  • For Xine player (if installed):
Xine-->File-->Configure-->Preferences
experience_level: Master Of The Known Universe
Video-->Driver: xshm
  • For RealPlayer (if installed):
RealPlayer-->Tools-->Preferences
Hardware-->Deselect: Use XVideo
