"Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions"


The libdvdcss library, needed to decrypt DVD movies (even if only for playback), has been the
subject of much discussion. Although this library is available on the Internet, most Linux systems in
the U.S. have chosen not to distribute this library because using it may be illegal under the DCMA.
You should research this issue yourself if you plan to add libdvdcss to MoviX or any other Linux
distribution that includes MPlayer or xine media players.
 Music??”You can play audio files in AVI, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and other formats.
 Images??”You can run a slide show using the Linux Frame Buffer Image (fbi) viewer that
displays images in JPEG, PNG, and a variety of other image formats.
The MoviX player itself doesn??™t include any video, music, or images for you to play. Instead, it lets
you choose the location of your content. Here are the possibilities, depending on what is available
on your computer:
 DVDs??”If you have a DVD drive on your computer, you can play supported content
from there. (As previously stated, that doesn??™t include most commercial movies, by
default.)
 VCDs and SVCD??”These are video formats that can be put on standard CDs.
 Audio CDs??”You can play standard music CDs (including AVI, MP3, and other formats).
 Hard disk files??”Any supported content on the local hard disk can also be played from
MoviX.
