playing DVD movies and .avi files
Greetings everyone!
I have a camera which has the option of producing .avi movie files. I also
have some movie DVDs I'd like to play. Some Web searching turned up
cinelerria. There is an .rpm package at
aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/heroines/cinelerra-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm
but that has become a quagmire.
The short question is: are there any other packages I can use?
For those of you wo might be interested why cinelerra didn't work, here
are excerpts from my log.
Oh, and also, is is safe to purge the package that I forced?
Thanks and regards
Tom

It is strange why an old package like libpng12-0_1.2.5.0-7 should depend
on a newer package libc6 2.3.2.ds1-4 than we have on the system
(2.2.5-11.5). It seems like the newer version should work. The
installed version of zlib1g is newer (1:1.1.4-1.0woody0) than what is
required (1:1.2.1) so it should work. Let's be brave.

So it looks like the --force had no effect. Well, that's not true:
kuiper@nutmeg:~/Images/Us/Lilibet/AtHome/2004$ cinelerra
cinelerra: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It looks like this whole cinelerra business is a bust.
I saw on the Debian website that a request to make a cinelerra package has
been pending for a couple of years.
