Hi, folks:
I am having problems playing certain MPEG videos properly. I'm using
xanim 28010-11mdk and aKtion as the front-end.
These particular MPEGs will play, but not usefully. There is no sound,
visual garbage cluttering up the image, and butchered frames. This seems
to be the case with all mpegs I've tried to play, so I don't think the
files are corrupted. The MPEGs play just fine in Windows.
When I check the properties, it tells me the file is "0.00 frames/sec".
I've looked at the documentation for xanim, and as far as I can tell, it
supports all of the most common mpeg video formats - and it *does*
attempt to play the file, even if it doesn't succeed.
Are these files just using a proprietary format disguised as MPEG? Are
they MPEG 4, perhaps? All of my MPEGs do this.
