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:

Any movie watching tips would also be appreciated. Oh, I did get Realplayer8 to work inside WINE, which was pretty cool.

thx!
