If you want to watch embedded streaming video, the best solution is to install Codeweavers Crossover plugin. Crossover plugin will then download and install Apple Quicktime 6 and Windows MediaPlayer 6.5 and will run them as Windows applications within Linux (using Wine)
It works well. The downside is that it is not free. There is however a demo version you can try out at www.codeweavers.com. Another possibility is to use RealPlayer8 for Linux. It will not handle the same media formats as WMP, but is free. An RPM for RealPlayer is available from Mandrake Club, or as a binary installer buried *very* deep on Reals site. derek On Saturday 11 Jan 2003 11:19 am, ivette brusselmans wrote: > What program do I have to install for video on netscape.
