I have read all advices, existing at 23.09.08, and i'd like to listen, how i should look at example of my projects, which i can't implement by own forces. E.g.

Here's some info on the Agat - a clone of an Apple II.

If you want to buy an old Russian computer, try here (has many pictures!). I don't know if this guy's stock is representative of 1980's Russian computing, but it contains a lot (31) of Sinclair clones, and information on other computers, including IBM PC-compatibles. If nothing, the names listed should help searches.

Or, were you looking for the ability to mix/create video or record video in one of many ways.

or did you just want to play those MPEG-1 (there are several others) or MPEG-2 or or

Basically the point I'm trying to make is that the multimedia stuff is there already. just use it.

The one piece I know of thats missing is Sorenson (sp?) codec quicktime player. anyone doing this, or know of a project that is?

Sorenson codec encoded .mov's are worthless to me. Although it is a really nice high quality codec with great compression, it's just not available for linux. Well I can listen to the audio on Sorenson codec mov's I spose. :)

Why don't these companies use DiVX ;-)? There's at least nice divx players for linux. The one I use is available here: http://divx.euro.ru/ just fyi. What's the deal with divx anyway? Was it stolen from microsoft like people claim or what? And if not, then why aren't big companies supporting it? Because apple and real pays them too much to use their format? :)

Avifile Homepage

Here is an excerpt from their 'Supported compression formats':

Video
Win32 VfW DLLs:
Indeo Video 3.2, 4.1
Microsoft MPEG-4 v1 & v2 beta
Microsoft MPEG-4 v3 ( also known as DivX ;-) )
Cinepak Video
ATI VCR-2
I263
Win32 DirectShow filters, decompression-only
support:
Microsoft MPEG-4 v3 ( this decoder is slower than VfW one, but offers wider range of picture control features )
Windows Media Video 7
Indeo Video 5.0
Motion JPEG ( using Morgan Multimedia shareware codec )
Open-source plugins:
Motion JPEG ( using libjpeg, very slow )
Audio
Win32 ACM DLLs, decompression-only support:
Windows Media Audio ( also known as DivX ;-) Audio )
MS ADPCM
Intel Music Codec
Open-source plugins, decompression-only support:
PCM
AC3
IMA ADPCM
MPEG Layer-1,2,3 ( compression into MP3 is also supported )
MSN Audio
GSM 6.1 Audio
Win32 DirectShow filters, untested decompression-only support:
Voxware Metasound
ACELP.net

It also has support for V4L compression :)

All these people posting about how Microsoft WMP formats are not supported in Linux should check out the AVIfile library. This library uses bits of Wine so that it can load Windows-native en-/de-coder DLLs to play/encode ASF/AVI files under Linux (or any other platform Wine supports). I don't know if it supports streaming yet, but since it's a library, you should be able to write an app around it that handles the stream connection.

Well most asf files work okay with the latest version of avifile, which is to be found at http://divx.euro.ru/

You need version 0.52 and the latest binaries (windows dlls) works on i386 only of course....

Sorenson don't even give out an AVI codec or avifile would play sorensen quicktime crap.

It's not exactly Open Source, but Avifile does a wonderful job of playing DivX ;-) encoded movies using the windows dlls. The latest version (0.51) fixed one of the playeres biggest bugs, crashing when seeking.

As stated earlier, XMPS also plays mpeg4. There's even an xmms plugin (uses libiaries from avifile and SDL)

Satellite imagery confirmed our suspicions that his lipids are dangerously elevated and also detected the presence of hemmorhoids.

MPEG is very well supported with the SMPEG library, thanks to loki. There's even a plugin for xmms that works quite well.

AVI's are _fully_ support with avifile. I mean fullscreen, full frame rate support of ever avi filetype, including the DivX ;-) codec. This is a jaw-dropping piece of software.

There's even a project called XMPS which takes smpeg, avifile, and a couple other programs and puts them into one great piece of software.

So why do we need xanim?

Good pointer to the DivX codec.

Just a quick correction on the URL:

http://avifile.sourceforge.net/

Which really points you to:

http://divx.euro.ru/

Jesus died for sombodies sins, but not mine.

The main link for DivX is here. There is a Linux player available, but a better one can be found here. The first one plays very badly on my Duron 600, while the second one has much lower hardware requirements and works very nicely. Both players work the same way, they use the DLL loader from the Wine Project to load the Codec, and they both require you to have the Windows binaries.

Jesus died for sombodies sins, but not mine.

Yes, we have such a player which does play most AVI formats. It's called Avifile and works as a plugin for the XMPS player. It can do Intel Indeo? 5.0 & DivX formats, and GSM 6.1, MPEG-1 all layers, PCM, etc. as it's homepage claims.
