Post #216,510 by Yendor 7/26/05 12:14:38 PM Reply	Have had very few problems with xine myself No real experience with Totem. Currently there's no way that I'm aware of to play .ASF files, as `vlc` is uninstallable.

Post #216,512 by drewk 7/26/05 12:22:14 PM Reply	Aren't some .asf files really just pointers? I've tried to download them, and when I open the downloaded file in a text editor it's just pointers to the real files. Yet another step of indirection to force you to stream the content. Which works a treat when your bandwidth can't keep up with it. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Post #216,550 by folkert 7/26/05 4:58:43 PM Reply	I use... Totem, aviplay, xine, vlc, gxine. all with the Windows Codecs too. I can't play .asf either, but nearly everything else used in the recent 15 years seems to work besides that and the new WMV10 "experimental" format. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [image\|http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg\|\|\|\|]
