In Texas a NY minute is pretty darn short. Sort'a kind'a like
blinking your eyes. "I'll be back in 30 minutes", might be tomorrow
tho ;>

No need to wait on those source borrowin Apple jerks,
Both Xine and mplayer came out with versions last week that play
QuickTime movies better than Apple's native player (which also works
better with X-over/fake_windows, than under Billy's Winwoes ;) Video
quality is better, at least on my hardware (GeF2, open source XFree
driver). I figured it wouldn't be long after Macs switched to BSD
before QT became Linux compatible ;)
xine-ui-0.9.12-1mdk (I used the src.rpm)
MPlayer CVS-020627-23:00-3.1.1 (C) 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy
Of the two, I like mplayer a little better. Both will play QT
movies full screen and continuously (multiple movies in succession).
I've got .mov's stored on CD's, each of which that'll play all night
long ;) Free at last from that damn Apple player ;> I believe
Xmovie has QT support now also, but I haven't seen the new version on
any mirrors yet to try it.
