Xine Gets Native Sorenson3 Decoding

Posted by timothy on from the one-less-thing-to-gripe-about dept.

gooofy writes "Freshly (im)ported from ffmpeg, xine 1-beta12 finally has native support for Sorenson SVQ3 video. This means that you're finally able to watch the latest quicktime trailers on any xine supported hardware platform, not just on x86. Other goodies in this release include support for ogg/theora, playback of cd/dvd over the network, improved handling of mpeg-2 files (resyncing) and many detail improvements."

    You're right, RPM's are a pain. Use Debian.

    Plays everything you throw at it. Just install all the codes. Has packages for *nix and W32...

    For WinZealots, try googling for "nimo codec pack", it'll plug all sorts of good codecs in for you to play just about everything and play it BETTER than M$ wants you to be able to play it.

    Just don't download and install the latest M$ media player. It's DRM spyware and you'll wish you hadn't installed it. BAD...
    Windows media player 6 plays EVERYTHING you need if you install the nimo package..
