 it can use ffmpeg codecs to play divx.

if we use ffmpeg I'd rather have in main xine as it's more beautiful (
of course I hope that xine doens't have licensing issues )
Avifile is limited contrary to xine ( DVD, VCD, Divx, ... )

Really xine need to be put in main distro !

mdksoft aims to touch desktop user at first stage. What will do a
desktop user when he will install Linux ?
+ first try a little, try to go to internet
+ listen mp3 on his win partitions
+ he know that there's not many games ( on top of that Loki is dead ),
so he will not really try, maybe CS with wine or RTCW
+ but before games and after mp3 : divx and if it's good, he will try a
DVD

[Cooker] 8.2 + multimedia ( divx ) support

2002-01-28 Thread Fabrice FACORAT

I've just read the contents of the 2 Cd and ... I wasn't able to see a
player for divx.

So what does mdksoft plan to do concerning multimedia/divx support ?
This lack a lot ! XP have manty many features and if a mdk box is not
able to read divx out of the box, I think that most new users will be
disappointed because after they will have to compile stuff.

Is there a pb to include xine + divx4 support ( from OpenDivx or ffmpeg
) - DeCSS support + D4D support ?
We will have at least a player with a nice GUI that can read unencrypted
DVD and DivX

I see also that noatun can read Divx if someone installed mpeglib with
divx support ( http://mpeglib.sourceforge.net/ )

So what's the point ?

true, i use xine as well for all my video playback. it has truely turned
into a kick butt video player for linux. just the User Interface themes
need a bit of working to make it more user friendly (kinda hard to
select files in it becuase of colors and non-standard buttons, etc).

mdk should have this in the main distro (instead of just /contribs) but
i think there maybe licensing issues?
