Go to freshrpms.net and download xine (and it's various libraries and utilities). There is a section specifically for rh8.0, and another about playing dvds (don't let that put you off). Follow your nose from there (you'll need the dvd css, read and nav rpms etc). Also while you are at it, I highly recommend that you grab alsa (advanced linux sound architecture) - it is much better than the standard oss driver. I've just put all this onto a rh8.0 box, and after a bit of tweaking (enabling dma on the dvd player etc), it works as smooth as silk. (Heh, I also managed to get the development saa7134 driver working with the updated kernel for a Flyview 3000 tv/radio card, nice... :) xine also does avi, mpeg and others, and it is brilliant for dvd movies. mplayer also does a very good job with video files. (And also xanim if you have the right codecs installed). As for divx, you might need to do some google searches (also freshmeat.net and sourceforce.net) to get the codecs if xine can't do it by default. If I recall, I think there's a divx project for linux somewhere. The xine rpms from freshmeat for xine installed without a hitch, and so far it has handled just about everything I've thrown at it, highly recommended. > Regards > Tobias Good luck.
