# it works for me.

# are you running windows as an emulator?

# dont need to.
i can use wine for some of the video nonsense.

but some lovevly people reimplemented quicktime. and it's faster.

# oh yes,
is this that crossover thing that costs $20 though?

# no, mplayer now supports quicktime (has done for a couple of months though)
it's a right bastard to get working though at times.

www.mplayerhq.hu/

not for the faint of heart.

# it looks far too scary.
why can't they just give me a nice rpm that'll work for suse?

# xine rpms.

mplayer is compiled so it doesnt slow down. at all.

also. i've got about 140+ codecs installed.
and quicktime, and mediaplayer 9.

:D

# what player are you using right now
xine might be a nicer choice than mplayer.

xine.sourceforge.net/

# well, i think i've got them both installed,
it's just a matter of me not having tried anything other than double clicking on the files in kde.

# after a few goes and realising it's 100% of EVIL, i gave suse8.2 a go.
it's actually fairly nice and tolerable, but just not usuable for most things.

# oh ans secondly.
i have a p3 450. it's a bit fucked if i want to do more than one thing with windows. with linux i've burned cds and watched films. at the same time.

# linux won't play any video files in avi format,
i can hear but not see. the only ones i can see are mpegs, it seems. and despite only having 112megs of ram (which is less than the minimum spec for xp, i'm pretty sure), windows copes a lot better with doing lots of things at once than linux so far.

# mines a bit horrifically customized.
barely anything running, new shiny kernel, premtive patches, etc etc :)

# have you tried xine?
It copes with most things I've tried it with so far (dvd, divx, avi, wmv, other stuff). Probably the best linux media player I've seen.

# it's ok.
i prefer mplayer.

it isn't as friendly but it's a lot more powerful.

# I'll have a look.
I need to sort out my media players - something has broken xine's dvd playback. I wussed out and got someone else to install it, so I'm a bit stuffed!

# mplayer! big w/y/h!
mplayer is the finest piece of software.

mate o' mine, when he can't get a video to run on windoze, he boots up linux and mplayer just yums it up!

me, i haven't had windoze installed here for 3 years and there's little i can't do with linux. what the hell is it you people need to do? get viruses? install spyware?
