The last one is kind of annoying, because whatever MS crapware people are using to create mpegs, the files seem to have about a 50/50 chance of having an error. I found another player called xmpeg on a website, and it wasn't too hard to get to compile on FreeBSD. Unfortunately, it always tells me that the mpeg file I'm trying to play isn't a valid format. I assume that because it's relatively old, it just doesn't recognise newer mpeg files. Does anyone know of any other mpeg players out there for which the source code is available for Unix (any Unix)? Or mpeg players (with or without source code) that run on Linux?
