eMoviX 0.9

eMoviX is a package that allows you to create bootable CDs able to boot & autoplay your multimedia files. It is intended mainly to play video files but if you want it can be used to play also audio files. I plan to release eventually a distro similar to eMoviX but aimed at audio only, so stay tuned!
The philosophy behind eMoviX is to make possible to generate video/audio CDs that are self-sufficient, i.e. that you can play on every PC regardless of what is installed on it: just insert the eMoviX CD inside a CD/DVD-ROM and boot the PC from there!
Video Formats Supported:
The world of video formats is a big mess, so it is not trivial for me to tell exactly which files will be played by eMoviX.
First of all, let me point out that eMoviX uses mplayer to display videos and therefore eMoviX works with a subset of the formats supported by mplayer, that you can find in the mplayers info page.
Apart from that, these formats are reported to work fine with MoviX:
- avi files - in particular -->DivX<-- files;
- mpeg files;
- VCD files.
The following formats should work:
- QuickTIme files;
- wmv files;
- asf files;
- fli files.
Audio Formats Supported:
MPlayer is able to play also audio files, even if it is not the best tool for this aim. eMoviX version of mplayer has been compiled with support for the following formats:
- mp3 format;
- ogg/vorbis format.
Enhancements:
- movix-conf was heavily modified, so that now it works fine with K3b!
- the engish version of credits.man was updated
- italian translations have been updated
- the ttf font is now included in the ISO image with its own name
- made a few changes to the layout of the boot text files
- updated the remote list in the boot files (english & italian only)
- now subhelp show up even when a playlist is burned on the CD
- on the fly playlists are now generated under /tmp rathern than under /
