Does anyone know of a good Linux AVI Player or a plug-in for another player?
Xine and mplayer from apt handle AVI files. I _just_ went through the effort pain of installing APT, so let me know if you need help with that. APT rocks.

I THINK I have apt installed correctly. I'm even up to using Synaptic. This AVI player, though, is my second install. (First was an upgrade to K3B.) That one went pretty smoothly (ahem) but I can't seem to get this one right. I've used Synaptic to install Mplayer and Mplayer-suite. I'm assuming that Mplayer uses some of the stuff in Mplayer-suite. I've found the command mplayer but there are so many options, I don't know where to start. Could you give me a command line to play an avi file in some made-up directory? Maybe I can start there and work my way up. (There's no gui for Mplayer, is there?)

Replying to my own reply: I got Mplayer to play AVI files. It would be nice if there were a gui but I suppose that is too much to ask. Thanks for your help. Don Henson
