It seemed to be all about totem, which appears to be the application called "Movie Player" in the f=>Applications=>Multimedia menu . [Why it doesn't say that Movie Player means totem I can't imagine - to me it just seems part of the utter chaos that constitutes Fedora Multimedia.] In any case, I installed totem-xine as suggested and gave the command "totem-backend -b xine". Then I ran Movie Player and open the file I mentioned </usr/share/apps/k3b/extra/k3bphotosvcd.mpg>, but all I saw was a meaningless mess of lines. So I would ask again - has anyone successfully played an MPEG video under Fedora-9? If so, could you tell me what application you used, and (if possible) any special codecs you installed. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
