Re: AVI player?
Hi Janet,
I didn't use any unstable or testing when I installed avifile locally. I *do*
use only stable sources here. I pulled down his tarball and built it locally,
and used the windll's(?) he had provided. All the required files needed to
build it were gained via dselect/apt.
It did however require 2 or 3 builds and a few notes to the maillist he
provided to get it to compile and play nicely.
I can resize windoz here (I use kde on x) but make sure you kill/suspend
artsd since it will attempt to hold the sound card (only applicable if you
run kde afaik). I have a voodoo 3000 and wasn't very happy with the results
of my system in full screen mode, however the default played near real time
on my pIII/450. Would probably do even better if I decided to hassle with my
excelerated card, but it's not that important to me. I'm just kind of
hanging out for woody and 2.4x so I can have a good excuse to build my next
killer AMD box :)
