I'm a new Windows transfuge. X ? what's X ? Multimedia System ? what's the definition of multimedia. We have audio ( mp3, ogg, wma, rm ), video ( mpeg, avi, divx, vob ) and sometimes editing. Basically xmms is used as a mp3/ogg player and is considered as a winamp clone. It is not a true multimedia player. With the version of mdk ( and the GPL edition of the distribution ), you can't play divx ( need of win32dll, they may think to use Divx4 or ffmpeg ), to play mpeg you need smpeg ( unless you suggest it to the user it will not install smpeg ). xmms can't read wma and other exotic format. The same for video ( asf, vob, ... ). And concerning editing : no luck. A true multimedia player is ... mplayer as it supports many input format ( VCD, DVD, MPEG 1/2 System Stream (PS/PES/VOB) and Elementary Stream (ES) file formats, RIFF AVI file format, ASF/WMV v1.0 files, QT/MOV format ), and audio & video format : MPEG1 (VCD) and MPEG2 (DVD) video ,DivX ;-), OpenDivX (DivX4) and other MPEG4 variants, Windows Media Video 7 (WMV1) and 8 (WMV2) used in .wmv files, Intel Indeo codecs (3.1,3.2,4.1,5.0), MJPEG, ASV2 and other hardware formats, MPEG layer 2, and layer 3 (MP3) audio (native code, with mmx/sse/3dnow optimization), MPEG layer 1 audio (native code, with libavcodec), AC3 dolby audio (native code, with sse/3dnow optimization), Ogg Vorbis audio codec (native lib), Voxware audio (using directshow DLL), alaw, msgsm, pcm and other simple old audio formats ) and you can encode in OpenDivx. So mplayer is a true multimedia player. To play divx it doesn't need win32 dll. It can use DivX4 ( 4.02 ) or OpenDivx ( about the same ) or ffmpeg ( http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/#formats ) : http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/codecs.html#2.2.1 Basically xmms is a winamp clone with some extra capabilities ( playing mpeg/avi thanks to smpeg and avifile and divx with win32 dll ). http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/info.html -- http://perso.wanadoo.fr/linux_wizard/index.html - Statistiques Accident de piétons a Paris.
