Re: [newbie] Windows Games - QT
Both Xine and mplayer came out with versions last week that play QuickTime movies better than Apple's native player (which also works better with X-over/fake_windows, than under Billy's Winwoes ;) Video This intrigues me, as I haven't found quicktime support yet. I went to the mplayer site, downloaded the current tar (20020707) file, compiled and installed it. All I can get is the audio of a .mov file, no video. I get diagnostics about an unsupported video codec, and I tried the suggestions (update ~/.mplayer/codecs.conf) and read docs on codecs, but no Quicktime. I pulled up a .mov off of apple.com/quicktime just for testing (movie trailer of the Two Towers). Did yours work out of the box? Did you CVS ? I imagine what I got is the same (or a snapshot) of the latest stuff from CVS. Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I get video, but no audio so we're even ;) Seriously I'm usin onboard AC97, and I believe that's the reason sound is gone. It's even a problem to get AC97 sound for QT with Crossover. You might'a got a Sorenson v3 .mov ... v3 isn't supported yet. You should have gotten an error mesg like this. MOV track #0: 317 chunks, 595 samples MOV: Found unknown movie atom SMI (21)! Image size: 240 x 180 (24 bpp) Display size: 240 x 180 Fourcc: SVQ3 Codec: 'Sorenson Video 3' Did yours work out of the box? Did you CVS ? I imagine what I got is the same (or a snapshot) of the latest stuff from CVS. Yes, and yes. MPlayer CVS-020703-23:00-3.1.1 (C) 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy IIRC, QT was first supported in the 020625 CVS. If you're havin problems with mplayer + QT, try xine-ui-0.9.12, libxine0-0.9.12-1mdk or get the tarballs from http://xine.sourceforge.net/ Xine plays QT movies just as well. Run 'xine-check' to make sure which codecs are working. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I'll be back in 30 minutes, might be tomorrow tho ; I forgot about the Crossover Pug-in. I'm with you. Now if Apple would stop screwin' around and port Quick Time I'd shoot that one out the window too. No need to wait on those source borrowin Apple jerks, Both Xine and mplayer came out with versions last week that play QuickTime movies better than Apple's native player (which also works better with X-over/fake_windows, than under Billy's Winwoes ;) Video quality is better, at least on my hardware (GeF2, open source XFree driver). I figured it wouldn't be long after Macs switched to BSD before QT became Linux compatible ;) xine-ui-0.9.12-1mdk (I used the src.rpm) MPlayer CVS-020627-23:00-3.1.1 (C) 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy Of the two, I like mplayer a little better. Both will play QT movies full screen and continuously (multiple movies in succession). I've got .mov's stored on CD's, each of which that'll play all night long ;) Free at last from that damn Apple player ; I believe Xmovie has QT support now also, but I haven't seen the new version on any mirrors yet to try it. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
