[ilugd] Cannot Play DAT and some other formats
Hi I have xine, mplayer, totem and have downloaded some of the other additional stuff required to be able to play videos. So Now I can play a dvd, and some . mov files. But I still cannot play a VCD - they have .dat files and mpg videos. The linux distro is mandrake 10.1 ( or should we call in mandriva now), Its really frustrating - what to do next regards ram ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
