<blockquote><para>
|
|
This began a year ago... I have tried lots of players under linux
|
|
(mtv, xmps, dvdview, livid/oms, videolan, xine, xanim, avifile, xmmp) but
|
|
they all have some problem. Mostly with special files or with audio/video
|
|
sync. Most of them is unable to play both MPEG1, MPEG2 and AVI (DivX)
|
|
files. Many players have image quality or speed problems too. So I've
|
|
decided to write/modify one...
