Yes Atul,
I agree too. In a hurry I posted the link to the ilug-goa mailing list
and then realised my mistake and I have even sent a message to guru to that
effect. Bye the way zzplayer is a very good player and currenly my
favourite video player on Linux. I never used mtv. In fact it was not at
all installed on my system but when he gave me the link out of curiosity I
thought of trying. But now it is rpm -e mtv* on my pc and it's all zzplayer
:-) Will try zzplayer on debian too :-)
They have come out with 0.9 version I have to have a look at that. Now I
watch VCD's in Linux. :-) with ZZplayer :-)
As far as Rs. 460/- and botheration is concerned that can never be a
problem :-) You also know that.
Warm Regards
Rajesh
