 Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2003 4:43 pm Post subject: The MoviX project (Live Linux Distros) |
 |
|
Home Page: http://movix.sourceforge.net/
| Quote: | The MoviX project is a series of three different tiny Linux CD distributions containing all the software to boot from a CD and play multimedia files through the MPlayer, the best multimedia player in the Unix world:
* eMoviX: a micro Linux distro meant to be embedded in a CD together with all video/audio files you want, so that the CD will be able to boot and automagically play all files;
* MoviX: a mini CD Linux distro able to boot directly from CD and load in RAM a console interface to MPlayer. From the interface you can easily play DVDs, VCDs, audio/video files Audio CD, internet radios, TV, you name it!
* MoviX2:same as MoviX, but it makes use of X and makes use of the nice MPlayer GUI.
Supported formats are all formats supported by MPlayer, most noticeably DivX and XviD but more in general any AVI, MPG, QuickTime, WMV, ASF, MP3, OGG/VORBIS and a few others.
--------
MoviX2 can now boot from USB pens!
A MoviX2 version able to boot from USB pens is finally available!
To install MoviX2 in a USB pen read carefully the README section about it and report in the forums the hw you used.
I managed to boot MoviX2 in my EPIA M-10k from 128MB USB pen but I also failed booting with the same pen in other MBs, so it would be nice having some list of working hw.
So now MoviX2 can boot from:
* CD-ROM
* HD (from Win or Lin partitions)
* Net
* CompactFlash cards
* USB pens

For me, the resolution of my monitor makes my TV look positively ill.
The MoviX CDs have Dynebolic beat for size for playing a DVD, but Dynebolic offers soundtracker and a bunch of other things.
