It blew up in wine or windows. Is it a problem with wine. What about other media types. -- VJ On 1/17/08, Dan Kegel <dank(a)kegel.com> wrote:

It blew up in wine, so I imagine it's a wine problem.

I didn't do much testing, just that one quick hit. It deserves some real testing given its popularity in Korea, I think. - Dan

I tried it some time ago. On the pro side it supports just about any media stream out of the box, well ok quite a lot. It's a one time stop for RM, WMF and QT media. On the con side I didn't like it's perseverance in trying to install all kinds of additional "gadgets" that I wouldn't care of or wouldn't fully trust with. As nice as it seemed to be able to watch just about every common media format out there, I deinstalled it after a short trial. Didn't test it in Wine though as watching media in Linux itself although not as painless isn't that difficult either. For my Windows box I use Media Player Classic with QT and RM codec support now and that works almost flawlessly. Rolf Kalbermatter

With native quartz (and installing some codecs with winetricks) it works , but there is still some issues: window can't be moved, and it displays the movies just too bright. Unfortunately I haven't seen any work on quartz latest months/years. For now i'd give it a bronze rating.....
