7 This began a year ago... I (A'rpi) have tried lots of players under linux | |
8 (mtv, xmps, dvdview, livid/oms, videolan, xine, xanim, avifile, xmmp) but | |
9 they all have some problem. Mostly with special files or with audio/video | |
10 sync. Most of them is unable to play both MPEG1, MPEG2 and AVI (DivX) | |
11 files. Many players have image quality or speed problems too. So I've | |
12 decided to write/modify one... | |
