[opensuse] VLC, succes, let it be known...
Hi list, - please foregive me for this post as it is not a question! - the last defence of lots of my friends just came down this morning - as I was made aware of VLC for SuSE. It's a FINE media player that imidiately turns SuSE10.2 into an excellent DVD/film player. - so, this mid day yet one more friend of mine, a hitherto ordinary wdooze user, was turned into a SuSE10.2 addict. SuSE10.2 and VLC did it. - check www.opensuse.org, type vlc in the wiki search and off you go. - I made this post as I thought that this application is a real killer app., one that everyone should be aware of. -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard ------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

it has many advantages. www.free.fr, a very well known French FAI works on it (GPL) and use it to enable video from the net to tv computer or TV http://adsl.free.fr/tv/multiposte/ jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It seems the repository is not digitally signed. Hugo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Very nice, thank you. I had heard of video lan in the past but never paid attention. Though I'm currently running Kaffeine on my main systems, I'll give this a try. Any idea what language it is written in? I cannot tell by the website. -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi all, Because of this thread, I also installed VLC and looked at it. It works well, but I fail to see why it should be preferred over Kaffeine. Am I missing something ?

Yes, and No. You are missing the fact that it can read many more formats than can Kaffeine, and it has the ability to play encrypted DVDs which Kaffeine does not (unless you search out the packages that allow this from Packman). Also you miss the fact that it can stream video to other machines over your net. OTHO, if you never do any of that and don't want to, you are probably not missing anything at all. ;-) -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

This is untrue since they (mplayer, VLC and libxine) all use the same library- ffmpeg, win32 loader and libddecss. If SuSE is shipped with VLC, it will be crippled too. Also, kaffeine is a frontend program, the number of actual formats supported depend on the player used.

This is true. Charles -- panic("Foooooooood fight!"); linux-2.2.16/drivers/scsi/aha1542.c
