hi folks, i've never had much of a need for multimedia and video -- as long as my MP3s or OGGs played when i wanted them, that was about as much multimedia as i ever cared for. these days, however, i am starting to need the ability to view mpeg video files of robotics experiments. i have all these .mpeg files sitting on my server, each more than 100Mb in size. right now i am scp'ing them over before viewing them, which is *a real drag*. i somehow can't stream the MPEG video over HTTP - what I would like to do. i am using xine as a player, but would go with anything else you might suggest. how can i stream MPEG files from an HTTP server? also, on a related note, i am writing this from a PIII 1.2 GHz Laptop with 1Gb of RAM (Dell Latitude C610), running XF 4.1 on Woody. It has a ATI Radeon chip, which isn't supported by XF 4.1, so I use the vesa driver, which works perfectly well. However, even with a system load of 0.00-0.10, this laptop fails to scale 320x240 videos to fullscreen (1400x1050) smoothly -- the fullscreen video is very jumpy and the sound's desynchronized. and even in 320x240 window mode, it's jumpy. i really think i have a system performant enough, now how do i increase debian's multimedia performance? -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck no micro$oft components were used in the creation or posting of this email. therefore, it is 100% virus free and does not use html by default (yuck!).
