Viewing videos
Hi folks!
New to Linux/Knoppix.
I want to view movie trailers on the Apple.com website. Normally, I use Windows/Quicktime but there seems to be no option for Linux.
What to do? Can I use Xine or is there a Quicktime version that will run with Knoppix, or something else entirely?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Viewing videos
--You have to be installed to HD, but you can install mplayer.
' apt-get install mplayer-686 w32codecs '
--Go also to the mplayer site ( http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design6/dload.html ) and
Install mplayer-skin--default-1.7.tar.bz2 into
/usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin
Install mplayer--qt6dlls.tar.bz2, mplayer--qtextras.tar.bz2
--Hopefully that should work, there's lots of stuff on the web to help with installing/using mplayer.

Dave,
Again, thanks in advance for your help. I've been able to figure out a bunch of new things from your post.
Question -
what do you mean by this line...
' apt-get install mplayer-686 w32codecs '
and this line
Install mplayer--qt6dlls.tar.bz2, mplayer--qtextras.tar.bz2
Are these instructions to be typed into the shell? Sorry, I'm really new at Linux.

(Activate patience... Ok)
As root, you type that apt-get install line while connected to the Internet. Apt then installs mplayer-686 and the Win codecs.
You may have to add this to /etc/apt/sources.list :
--Check http://www.apt-get.org/ for other unofficial debian software.
When downloading the files from the mplayer website (the .bz2 files) I renamed them on the fly to mplayer--origfilename so I knew what they were related to. You *have* to have a default skin, and you said you wanted to view QT files. So you download those bz2's and install them where the mplayer site tells you to.
There is a howto on their website:
