I know, it sucks - I couldn't even watch the second Star Wars trailer on my computer - I had to use my parent's (which run Win95). > same goes for AVIs, intel has a pretty tight grip on them and none of > the newer Indeo formats work with xanim(i think indeo 3 is the newest > it can do) It sounds like you need to upgrade you XAnim. I can very happily play Indeo 5 .AVIs under Linx with the latest XAnim. Note that I'm a known bigot for compiling stuff by hand - there are no known (to me, at least) Debian slink packages for the latest XAnim. > wish someone would come out with a player (YES!

The only problem being that Apple's licensing fees are very likely outside the range of almost all shareware authors. > GPL/OSS would be best of course but id rather have shareware then > nothing in cases like this :) (well, i have nothing now as i refuse to > reinstall win* to watch movies) I know how you feel. Sometime it's tempting to get another HD for this computer just for Windows - that's where all the best computer games are. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
