Hi Folks,

     Further to my trials of media players for BL2, I can now recommend 
QuickView
as a multimedia player for BL2 (doesn't work in BL3 so far).

     Originally only for DOS (I have the registered DOS version), it runs 
from the 
console (or in an xterm under X-windows). 

     It will play avi, mov, qt, mpeg.  Will also display a range of 
graphics formats. Still being developed for linux and doesn't yet handle
sound or play mp3s (which it does in DOS).

     From the lesson learned from BL3 - i.e. boot a bare DOS - I have at last 
got this player to run where it always locked-up before (conflict with 
something 
in autoexec.bat or config.sys).

     Size: 383 kb.

     Statically linked - no dependancy probs.

     Go to:  http://www.multimediaware.com/qv/ and follow the links to
the beta linux version.  

     Or go directly to: http://linuxvideo.info/

It is a free download for now, but may also expire 
after some months when you just go and get a newer version.

Regards,
         Ron
