In our new homebox we have a dvd. Just wondering what to use to play them from the fc3 shell. Also, I hear that things like d v s and whatever would be bundled in releases of films and whatever. I gather one could then choose the description if they wanted it or watch the film by default without?? Can one do that with a software player?? I gather there would be something to play it with like cdp for audio?? Thanks much. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Hi Paul: For DVD playback you want to use MPlayer for sure. MPlayer is an incredible media player and it can playback any media format you throw at it. Also, it has very nice keyboard commands like space-bar for play, left-errow and right-arrow for fw and rw etc. It is one of the most blind friendly and user friendly program out there. It also plays VCD, SVCD, OGG, FLAC, MP3, WMA, WMV, Real, QuickTime, and many many more. You can get great MPlayer RPMS from http://www.freshrpms.net. They have a good "yum" repo for FC3. If you configure your yum.conf file properly, you will be able to do: "yum install mplayer" and it will automaticly get it and its dependencies from the net. However, I always compile my MPlayer, because it is much much faster if you compile it your self. David B.

* Re: o t: playing dvd?? ` hank @ ` David Bruzos 0 siblings, 0 replies; 9+ messages in thread From: David Bruzos @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Hi: To play the latest Real audio files you have to install the win32 .dll real codecs. I think that you can also use the native Linux codecs from the official Real Player 10 for Linux. You have to look at your configuration options when you compile MPlayer and see how to enable Real support. I think that MPlayer also has Real media support built-in, but only for the older format versions. In my system, my MPlayer plays all of the Real Media files I have, but they are not the latest Real formats. If you want better Real support you might want to use the official Real Player 10 from Real Networks. I believe there is an alternative text-based frontend for it, but I have never used it.

Hi again: You can use the "-quiet" flag to make MPlayer print less info to the terminal. However, you will still get some messages you might not want. To make it not print anything you can redirect all of the MPlayer output to /dev/null. If you want to eliminate the error messages do: # mplayer -quiet file.ogg 2>/dev/null Hope this helps! David B.
