Description:

xine is a free GPL-licensed video player for unix-like systems. It
supports mpeg-2 and mpeg-1 system (audio + video multiplexed) streams,
mpeg elementary streams (audio/video only, e.g. mp3 files), AVI files
with various video formats (some of them by using win32 dlls) and Vorbis
OGG streams. There is some support for quicktime streams (but most
quicktime video and audio codecs are highly proprietary and thus not
supported).

xine plays the video and audio data of the stream and synchronizes
the playback of both. Depending on the properties of the stream,
playback will need more or less processor power, full frame rate
for mpeg-2 has been seen on a 400 MHz P II system.
