Description-en: the xine video player, GTK+/Gnome user interface
This is a GTK+ based GUI for the libxine video player library.
It provides gxine, a media player that can play all the audio/video formats
that libxine supports. Currently, this includes MPEG1/2, some AVI and
Quicktime files, some network streaming methods and disc based media (VCD,
SVCD, DVD).
A more complete list can be found on http://xinehq.de/.
.
Most DVDs on the market today are play-protected by the Content Scrambling
System (CSS). libxine does not provide any code to descramble those DVDs,
because of legal uncertainties. If you still want to play those DVDs, you'll
need a CSS decryption library like libdvdcss that is supported by libxine.
