Hi!

I'm trying to find a program that's good for watching AVI or MPEG movies.

Does anyone know of any good movie program?

Thanks!

I have just one word for you...

MPLAYER

I have another word for you...

XINE =o)

I think MPlayer is the best but I have a lot of speed issues with it so I use this. If you're wanting to broadcast accross a network though you can't beat VLC..

Xine - xine.sourceforge.net
VLC - www.videolan.org/vlc

...and if it's DVDs you're wanting to watch then you want Ogle...

MPlayer.

Don't get RPM. Get tar ball. It will install without a single problem in Redhat 9.

./configure --enable-gui (to be able to use GUI)

Where do you type in ./configure to enable the GUI im confused?

kazykid22 · 08-07-2003, 07:31 AM

I click on the .tar ball and it opens a bunch of files what do i do from there to install? I'm a total newbie and can't wait till my Linux Redhat 9 for dummies book comes in so work with me here haha. Ok thanks alot

don't click on anything, install it from a console screen. there's a really easy to follow guide for installing from source at the top of the "Linux - General" forum

How do u access the console screen? is that the same thign as a terminal window?

kazykid22 · 08-07-2003, 08:00 AM

And what do i do there? Bear in mind im a totaly newbie so work with me please. I appreciate the help. Thanks

acid_kewpie · 08-07-2003, 08:20 AM

kazykid22 · 08-07-2003, 08:23 AM
