Videos on Linux
August 13, 2006I spent an hour this afternoon setting up the Linux PC to play videos. It turns out that Mandrake 9 already has an in-built media player (Totem Movie Player) that can play Xvid videos. So there was no need for me to spend an hour last night installing the command-line only version of MPlayer. I also had the loudspeakers plugged into the wrong socket on the back of my soundcard - as my brother Mark gleefully pointed out this afternoon.
Which means I can now watch videos on my Linux PC - which is what I mostly use the PC for anyway. Happy frabjous joy!
