20.4 Playing Movie Files

You can choose between several movie players shipped with your SUSE Linux Enter-
prise. Kaffeine is the default KDE movie player and can be run with several back-ends,
such as Xine and MPlayer.

The formats you can view with Kaffeine depends on the back-end (by default, Xine is
used). Xine interprets many of the most common multimedia formats available. For
more information, refer to http://xinehq.de/.
Kaffeine can also play multimedia streamed over the Internet and can be used as a plug-
in for Konqueror. It provides the usual options for playing files in full screen mode,
navigating through files, and more. You can also take a snapshot of the video and save
it as an image.
Apart from Kaffeine, SUSE Linux Enterprise also ships RealPlayer for Linux. RealPlayer
supports RealAudio, RealVideo, Ogg Vorbis, Theora, and more.
