www.projectmayo.com is the creator of divx and there is the Playa for divx movie. very nice very Windows(TM). on the other hand, linux is a hassle, and i m talking from experience, if u look back into the mail archives of about a week u will find a request for help from me. (what does ...) and (rpmdrake: rpm installed error) if u wanna go with xine or xmms or xmps (forget xmovie, its outdated) the dependant libraries are available at www.rpmfind.net but then u get into hassles with rpmdrake. i used kpackage to install the libraries but was still unsuccessful . i finally managed to get mpeg to play with www.mpegtv.com 's mtvp which installs with all the libraries included. enjoy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marcin Jendrzejewski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2001 3:34 PM Subject: [newbie] DVD && Divx ;-) under Linux? > Hey everyone, > Today I just picked up Dark City and was hoping to view it.
