NAME¶
lqtplay - simple quicktime movie player for X11.
SYNOPSIS¶
lqtplay [ options ] file
DESCRIPTION¶
lqtplay just plays the given quicktime movie in a window on your X11
display. Sound is played using a OSS dsp device or Alsa (if available). Some
info about the movie and some other stuff is printed on stderr. No fancy GUI.
The only interactive element is that you can resize the window, and lqtplay
will adapt the video size if support for hardware-scaled video is available.
lqtplay comes with libquicktime and uses libquicktime to read and decode
the movies. It is a sample application and intentionally kept simple. If you
want a full-featured media player, have a look at gstreamer.
OPTIONS¶
- -noxv
- Don't use the Xvideo extension for accelerated video
playback (YUV->RGB color space conversion + video scaling in
hardware).
- -nogl
- Don't use OpenGL (via GLX extension) for video scaling. By
default lqtplay tries to use 3D textures to scale RGB frames in hardware
if DRI is available.
- -noalsa
- Don't use Alsa for audio output. By default lqtplay uses
Alsa if it was available at compile time.
The usual toolkit options (like -geometry) are accepted too.
