Introduction to five Linux Multimedia Software

Although Microsoft windows has a large number of users, Linux has won many users with its powerful server functions. Do you understand the application software when you are studying Linux? Here we will introduce several Linux multimedia software. These Linux multimedia software make your life happier.

1. gnome cd Player
Gnome cd Player is a Xwindow-based CD playing software. It is a software attached to Redhat Linux. Generally, it will be installed as long as Xwindow is installed. From its interface, it is very similar to the CD player in Microsoft Windows. In addition to the conventional CD playback function, you can also set the CD playback mode and time display mode, it also supports the CDDB database, as shown in figure 2), which can meet most of the CD playback needs and is quite simple to use. I will not introduce it here.

2. Realplayer
RM-format audio and video files are widely used on the Internet, and are well known for their high compression rate. Fortunately, you can also view RM-format files in Linux, Which is Realplayer for Linux.
: Ftp://ftp.suhat.com/pub/Linux/Mu... _ libc6_i386.cs1.rpm
This is an RPM package and is easy to install. If you are using Redhat Linux, first click the foot in the lower left corner, then click "Programs/System/GnoRPM" to open the RPM package manager and select Install for installation ), then select the file you just downloaded to start installation. Alternatively, you can install it on the command line:
# Rpm-ivh rp8_Linux20_libc6_i386.cs1.rpm
After the installation, there will be a Realplayer8 directory under the/usr/lib/directory. The corresponding Startup File realplay will be available in the/usr/X11R6/directory. Then, enter "realplay &" in the command line to start Realplayer to watch movies.
You can create a shortcut on the desktop to make it easier. In this way, right-click the desktop and select "New/Launcher ...", In the dialog box, enter the shortcut Name), description Comment), Execute Command), and select the icon/usr/lib/Realplayer8/rp7.xpm.

3. XMMS-MP3 player in Linux
I thought it was Winamp. In fact, XMMSX MultiMedia System) is designed to make it easier for Windows users to use Linux. It completely imitates the shape and functions of winamp and has most of the functions of winamp, such: visualization, DSP/Effect, and Skins. It is said that Skin can be used with winamp, but I haven't tried it yet. You can try it yourself :)
: Ftp://ftp.freesoft.cei.gov.cn/.m... 86/RedHat/RPMS/xmms-gnome-1.2.2-4.i386.rpm.
If Redhat7.0 is used, it will be included on the CD, which is also in the RPM package format. Before installation, there will be an executable file named "xmms" in the/usr/bin directory after installation. Enter "xmms &" in the command line mode to start it. Like Realplayer, create a shortcut on the desktop.

4. gtv mpeg Player
This is a VCD playback software that allows you to play regular VCD. From the Panel perspective, it is as simple as the gnome cd Player mentioned earlier, and features are relatively simple. Currently, MPEG4 is not supported. However, with this simple software, it is better to look at ordinary VCD in the family to work together. Linux is always better than it is, and it will continue to develop step by step.
: Ftp://ftp.freesoft.cei.gov.cn/.m .. 6/RedHat/RPMS/smpeg-0.4.0-5.i386.rpm
As for the usage, I can understand it at a glance, and I don't need to talk about it more, but it is different from Windows 95/98 when using the optical drive in Linux. It can be used without putting it into the optical drive. I have to mount it first, the typical situation is as follows: mount-t auto/dev/cdrom/mnt/cdrom. If you do not understand it, learn some basic Linux commands first. After all, Linux is an operating system, unlike the "mining", you can play with it immediately.

5. KSnapshot-image capture tool in Linux
: Ftp://ftp.freesoft.cei.gov.cn/.m.../graphics/ksnapshot-0.2.7.tar.gz
KSnapshot is a graph capture software based on the KDE Desktop environment. Its operation interface is simple and easy to use. You can capture images in full screen mode and window mode, and KSnapshot supports multiple storage formats for captured images, such as GIF, BMP, PS, and XBM. if Redhat7.0 is used, as long as the KDE is installed, it will naturally be installed. You can find KSnapshot in the Graphics menu or type "KSnapshot &" in the command line status to start it. When KSnapshot is started, the current desktop is first captured as an image. Before capturing a graph, set the path and file name for storing the image in Filename in the storage format, and click "Grab. However, you may encounter a problem. When you press "Grab", it is too late to move the cursor to the window to be captured. Don't worry. Are you seeing "Delay? Enter a number here. In seconds, it refers to the delay time from pressing the "Grab" key to starting to capture images. There are other options on the KSnapshot panel. The combination of these options can also meet most of the requirements. Let's explore them by yourself!

In addition, another software that can capture images is a plug-in of the image editing software GIMP that can rival photoshop. GIMP can be found on Redhat Linux CD, or to China free software library download: ftp://ftp.freesoft.cei.gov.cn/.m... bc6/i386/gimp-1.0.0-6.i386.rpm.
After starting GIMP, select "File/Acquire/Screen Shot ..." Different Versions of gimp may be different. You can find them yourself.) the usage of GIMP is similar to that of KSnapshot, but one advantage is that the captured graph may be edited in gimp immediately, which is much more convenient. However, many users do not understand the software in Linux and think that it is only used on network servers. In fact, it also provides comprehensive support in the multimedia field. Here we will introduce several multimedia software in Linux.
