I personally use noatun (KDE Multimedia Player) for MPEGs, and aKtion for everything else. Both come with mandrake 8.

Reread the post as that is what was quoted.

noatun (KDE MM Player for MPEG's and aKtion for EVERYTHING ELSE besides mpeg's.

Yeah, what mdwatts said, and also aKtion is just a front end for xanim (afaik), and xanim has shaky support for mpegs.

I strongly encourage you to consider using
MpegTV for viewing Mpeg, mpeg2, and mpg video.

AVIfile is the DivX choice for most Linux based multi-media enthusiasts.

MpegTV (http://www.mpegtv.com/)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
AVIfile (http://www.gnuchina.org/ftp/linux/multimedia/video/avifile/)

noatun crashes everytime i use it....and i couldnt get xmovie to work...
