All, I have a 15 year old nephew that is giving Linux a try. Somehow he ended up installing an old Fedora 5 setup. He's not real trilled with it. His biggest complaint is no ability to play divx videos. I've never tried to do any video stuff via linux. Can 10.3 play divx videos with the base distro? What about Fedora 8?

Make him download mplayer. It can play anything you throw at it including all windows formats. For suse you'd go to packman. I don't know of there's a souped up version for Fedora. But he could go straight to the general headquarters: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ Regards, -- Jos van Kan registered Linux user #152704 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Or install VLC. It's like the Swiss Army knife of media players. Good stuff... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Somehow OpenSuse 10.3 is the first distro i see has managed to cripple VLC: "No suitable decoder module for format: VLC probably does not support the "DX50" audio or video format. Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this."
Avidemux is the only player i know with frame by frame playback option. Kind regards Philippe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you download VLC from Packman it's not crippled. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
