[newbie] how about movies?

1999-12-02 Thread Lovister LJ

Hi, it's me again.
   I wonder if there is any program to play MPEG movie files?
I have a lot of vcd's that I like to try to watch on Linux.
Any info is greatly appreciated.

For VCDs, you'll need a program called mpegtv.  You can find a link to
it by doing a search on freshmeat (http://freshmeat.net).  It's a
commercial program, but it's only like $20.  It works pretty well as my
copy of Four Weddings and a Funeral can attest!  :)

I'd like to point out only mtv (the gui frontend) costs, the commandline
player mtvp is free to use. And aswell my Copy of Topgun runs aswell as
can be expected :)
