@ -245,3 +245,13 @@ A: gcc 2.96 is RedHat's UNOFFICIAL (it can be found only on RedHat sites, or
compile it. Important: this is NOT an MPlayer-specific problem, numerous
other projects (DRI, avifile, etc..) have problems with this shit too.
** DO NOT USE gcc 2.96 !!! **
Q: Is there a hint on how to watch QuickTime and RealMedia movies in mplayer?
A: There's no way to do it. Therefore these formats deserve to die in flames.
Theoretically you can reverse engineer Real codecs built for Linux (they
are available as .so files), but in practice that's really difficult, even
if you know how the compiler used by Real is making assembler code.
As for QuickTime, it's possible to play some old movies and this
capability will be added to mplayer soon, but newer clips are all Sorenson
encoded, and that codec is built-in deep in the QT executable, there's
no way to use it.
