[gentoo-user] quicktime
I see we have quicktime libraries in portage, can any recommend viewers that use it. In particular I am interested in view quicktime videos on a website. If no mozilla plugin exists, I'd be happy with the standalone viewer. -- Lincoln A. Baxter [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Well I figured I'd try the plugin for mozilla. Installed the mplayer to go with it as well without troubles by: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge mplayerplug-in and installed: net-www/mplayerplug-in-0.40 media-video/mplayer-0.90_rc4 mplayer and the plugin are both working fine. I did have to edit the /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf and set use-gui option to mini to get the video to embed rather than play full screen. Greg -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I don't like M$ any more than the next Linux guy, but sometimes the anti-M$ religious fanatics really make me laugh. it's not that simple unfortunately... many linux developers think/feel that project like wine actually make more bad than good: if you can run all your games / applications /whatever in emulators, noone will complain at the game/application/whatever-developers for a native linux version = there won't be any linux version. that's why for example: sending those 20$ to mplayer-or-xine developers could be a better way to get proper quicktime support i'm not saying they're right, but there is some truth in those opinions. gabor -- listening to:FLCL OST1 - Addict: Kabarofski -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Actually it does more than just plugins. It allows for a few other programs to work with *nix as well and it does a decient job of it. Though I think I had issues with quicktime when I tried it. I don't like M$ any more than the next Linux guy, but sometimes the anti-M$ religious fanatics really make me laugh. charles Same here... I'd rather use something like cross over than have a full out version of windows installed. I have wine installed but for some reason it doesn't want to run trillian(which is one of the few windows programs I like to use on nix). Also while winex does alot of games it still doesn't do a few I use so I'm stuck with windows for the time being but usually only reboot for games.(hmmm who needs a console game thing when you have windows installed? j/k) Susie VE7 HFA [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://arienadean.tripod.com/ --- Life's unfair - but root password helps! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I don't like M$ any more than the next Linux guy, but sometimes the anti-M$ religious fanatics really make me laugh. charles This is the same shallow arguement that was banttered about when sound_drivers were at the best barely useable. Anyone that wanted sound support were told to get OSS at a reasonable price of $X and would be blasted if they expected to have perfect sound for free, even though the drivers that were paid for (in the price of the sound card) were available for that other OS. The same counter-arguement was offered when printing and video was the craze and now for plugins that are available as a free download for proprietary OS's only. There will always be new pay_for _bells_and_whistles and will be replaced with open source and by the originators of this proprietary crap as ALSA, XINE and video drivers have shown. In time, not supporting all platforms will be as uncommon as M$ only is today. The strides that the linux comunity have advanced in the last twelve months shows that this is no longer a tinker_toy (and never was) but a strong and reliable OS. Is an idividual an anti-M$ fanatic if they want for their OS that wich is freely available for other OS's? I hardly think so! I guess we will always be in the presence of those few individuals willing to tote the M$ shield. JMHO -- Ted Ozolins (VE7TVO) Westbank, B. C.
