DivX, AC3 and Xvid under linux?
Recently I was trying to watch a few episodes of Voyager I missed on TV. Well.. It didn't work in Kaffine.
Which player do you use to watch such files?

I think mplayer plays all my DivX. Not sure I've ever used Xvid or AC3

mPlayer does play them (if the format isn't supported at the moment, you can recompile it with the right codecs). I tried an xvid and a divx with totem as well. They work. ac3 seems to work anyways (at least with my soundcard sb live)

MPlayer is pretty good.
It takes time to get used to the idea of watching films in the console though.
BTW, can I zoom movies?
