my friend sent me film with xz format and that file can’t open. How to open that xz file in movie player program?
Answer
xz is a compression file format. To uncompress it
If your file format is tar.xz use
tar xf archive.tar.xz
and if your file format is xz use
unxz archive.xz
If you are having problem with tar xf command then you may need to install xz-utils .
FYI xz-utils comes pre-installed in Ubuntu.
To install xz-utils use
sudo apt-get install xz-utils
You can also use Nautilus to extract the files.
After that use a video player to play your video.
