You can run mplayer/xine etc too on your machine if you switch to a lower resolution. Back when I used to work on a slow machine(p1/p2)... with a 2MB ATI card .. even WMP wouldn't play VCDs properly... but I could always watch movies on linux by setting the resolution to "320x240" You can always add a seperate user to you machine just to watch VCDs and define a special Screen and ServerLayout section and have that user do a startx -- :1 -layout mplayer should work great on even the slowest of machines.(pentium class atleast) Kingsly -- ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
