[ILUG] DVD woes

[Smith, Alan]

Oh!!  Forgot to say earlier. Another one of the stands I saw at Cebit was a
crowd called InterVideo. They make a product called WinDVD. They are in late
beta stages of a version for Linux (LinDVD strangely enough). 2-3 more
months I think. The only guy at the stand was Japanese and had really bad
english. They had a machine running SuSE 6.0 I think. It had "The Matrix"
running with no problems. They have most of the guts of the program working
- they are working on the cosmetic side of it now. At the moment to start
the movie playing you have a very long command line with about 6 piped
commands. They want to get the GUI side of it sorted out before they release
any info. There is no info on their website unfortunately
http://www.intervideo.com/ .

Later ;

Alan.

 Anyone else played with DVD's on Linux. Even on a PIII 750, it's too slow
- the picture quality is quite good, but it seems the decoding takes too
  much CPU time, so the audio is very missynced, even when ac3dec is niced
to -5. It's like playing MPEG1 on a P60 or something :(
