I have a PII 333 with 256 mg mem and a ati rage 16 mg vid card and creative ensonqu pci snd.
I would like to play my video files which are asf, avi, mpg. What is a good player that will play them and at full screen with the current divx codecs (if available for linux)? Oh Ya, I'm running red hat 7.2 with ximians latest desktop. Thier gtv mpeg play works great but it will not do full screen.
Thanks in advance!!

Yep, and linux does use the w32 divx codecs.

Thanks.
But being a newbie it certainly does help to EVEN know where to start looking.

Have not been activly using linux for that time. I played with it on and off for those 2 years. I recently got a second system and loaded it up with RH7.2.and if not for the users at linuxnewbie I and many other would have been way lost. Thanks again!
