249 Q: Is there a hint on how to watch QuickTime and RealMedia movies in mplayer? | |
250 A: There's no way to do it. Therefore these formats deserve to die in flames. | |
251 Theoretically you can reverse engineer Real codecs built for Linux (they | |
252 are available as .so files), but in practice that's really difficult, even | |
253 if you know how the compiler used by Real is making assembler code. | |
254 As for QuickTime, it's possible to play some old movies and this | |
255 capability will be added to mplayer soon, but newer clips are all Sorenson | |
256 encoded, and that codec is built-in deep in the QT executable, there's | |
257 no way to use it. |
