media player

Insodus · Guest

What media player do you guys use? I've been usin XMMS for mp3's, and thats workin well, but I cant seem to find a (good) player that will play all my mpegs, divx, and quicktime files. I know you can. I emerged quicktime4linux and divx4linux. Then I tried mplayer, xmps, aktion, noaton. None open all my movies, in fact none do barely any of them right.

Any suggestions.

Mplayer has the largest format support and is the most popular. Xine is second up and also supports many formats. These are the two I use for video and they work very well. If you are having problems maybe you can post the specifics; we can try to work them out.

For audio I use XMMS.

I also recommend Mplayer. It nearly plays everything. It also has tons of options and a nice (beta) GUI. Check it out:

According to a news message to day in the German heise.de magazine, XINE is now able to play Sorenson codecs. Does this mean that you are able to use xine as a plugin for quicktime movies?http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/nij-21.06.02-000/

I actually haven't ran into a movie I couldn't open with mplayer, of course I'm no giant movie fanatic either.
