With eMoviX, you put
a mini-MoviX distribution on a CD or DVD with your video so that your video content comes with
its own bootable player! (See http://movix.sourceforge.net/Docs/eMoviX for details.)
Both eMovix and MoviX are described in my book Linux Toys II, in a project devoted
mainly to creating your own bootable movies.
GeeXboX
GeeXboX (www.geexbox.org) is another bootable multimedia player distribution. From the
screen that appears after GeeXboX boots, you can use your cursor to select the location of the
content you want. Like MoviX, you can play a variety of audio and video content. It also boots up
on your network, so you can get audio and video content from it.
Because GeeXboX is so small (just a few megabytes), you can fit it easily on a mini-CD, bootable
business card, or even a pen drive (provided your computer can be booted from those media).
There is no graphical interface; you just use the keyboard to select content and simple controls
from menus.
Use arrow keys to move among the few GeeXboX selections (Open, Controls, Options, Help, and
Quit). Press Enter to make a selection. You can open a file from hard disk, a music playlist, directory
of images, or removable media (DVD, VCD/XCD, or audio CD) containing video content. Press M
to show or hide menus and use P to pause.
