I trying to run divx on Linux platform with KDE. I'm using XMPS 0.2.0 instaled from src and libdivxdecore v0.4.7 and xmps-opendivx-plugin v0.0.2 When I try to load divx file XMPS exit. When I run it from terminal it show me sth like this: Xlib: extension XVideo missing on display :0.0. Segmentation fault Somebody can help me run DIVX on Linux?? -- Emil W.
Re: Divx and Linux
I haven't tried using XMPS with divx for a while, but about six months ago I didn't have any luck with it. I've been using aviplay compiled from avifile. It's a QT-based app, and works adequately for me. You should be able to get the avifile stuff from avifile.sourceforge.net. It's easy to get working, at least in my experience. You might also try Xine, it claims to support divx. But I just tried it out and didn't get any sound...

According to my experience, while there are quite a few players for Linux that claim that they can play avi files (xine, xmps, avifile/player, mplayer), the best ones that I have used so far are avifile http://avifile.sourceforge.net/ and mplayer http://mplayer.dev.hu/homepage/. Using avifile to play some self encoded divx files resulted in the audio being a little bit out of sync with the video (quite a lot in avifile 0.53 and a little bit out of sync with avifile 0.60), but mplayer plays the file that I created quite well and so it is my preferred choice. For DVD players, on the other hand, I think that the choice is much narrower, with the best ones being videolan http://www.videolan.org/ and xine http://xine.sourceforge.net/, although I haven't run the new generation of xine, since the one in debian unstable (0.4.3) is at least two official releases behind the one available at the xine homepage (0.5.1). An honorable mention goes to ogle, which is able to use the menus that some DVDs contain for the extra-goodies (biographies, making of's etc). I guess that the way to go is to create self-packaged applications now, since some of these things either are way, way behind the current releases (oh, my!) or won't be package for Debian for legal reasons (lame, libcss etc). Anybody else interested in this also?
