Hi all,
I have a dual boot(Win98/PCQ Linux 7.1) Celeron 266 MHz 64 MB RAM
system.
For playing VCD in linux , I downloaded Xine-0.9.2 RPM , installed it and
played a VCD. It was showing 3/8th of the screen, but sound was ok. In the
info on RPM it was mentioned that full frame rate was seen in a P II 400 MHz
system. The same VCD I am able to play in Win using Media player with same
64 MB RAM without any probs.
I thought linux was meant for running apps with lower resources but this
Xine is asking for something which I do not have.
Next in KDE , I opened KDE Media player(I think it is "noatun") to play
the VCD. When the file (.dat file) was selected from the selection pane
itself (I did not even play it) , the application crashed. Did this 2, 3
times, but to no avail, left with a huge core (segmentation fault --signal
11) .
Next I downloaded MPlayer tarball, extracted it into a directory. Then
proceeded to give generic installation instructions. At the beginning
configuring it self it was checking for the version of GCC . It found the
GCC 2.96 as bad and asked that either downgrade it to 2.95 or to 3.00. I
found GCC 3.00 to be a 19 MB download file , so down loading it is out of
the question.
What I can do now ? To play VCD's do I have to do it only in Win? Any other
software is there? ( I do not want MTV for which I have no way of paying
registration fee, being in India).
Pl help
