Hi,

You can get mpegtv for linux from www.mpegtv.com. It's rock solid and
really rocks!. For mpeg audio, check out xaudio at www.mpeg.org/xaudio/

Best regards

I am just wondering if there is an MPEG player our there for linux which
is akin to Xing. I downloaded a couple of them from the links I found
through the various linux sites but none seem to be able to play the
standard ".dat" files found in video cds i have.

Thanx in advance.

Hate to break it to you, but ".dat" isn't a standard file extension,
it's an abbreviation for ".data" used by about a thousand applications
that couldn't think of a creative 3-letter combination. ;-)

That said,
There are a number of MPEG players/encoders for linux. The players I'm
using are xanim for .mpg video and tk3play for .mp3 audio.

Whether .dat can be read by either of these, however, I don't know.
