I'm trying to watch some movies from archive.org, but I'm not familiar with the correct process. I installed xine and avifiles, but they can't play the free mpeg4 movies I'm downloading from archive.org. Am I supposed to install the codecs separately? Or should I be using a different video player? I'm not clear on what the relationship is between the various players and codec packages in /usr/ports is. Other than xine, I'm not sure which other ones are most commonly used. I'm trying to watch some of these movies: http://www.archive.org/movies/movies-details-db.php?collection=prelinger&collectionid=17225&from=mostViewed Any movie watching tips would also be appreciated. Oh, I did get Realplayer8 to work inside WINE, which was pretty cool. thx!
