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