Hi FreeBSD Gurus,

I am looking for a device to play MPEG on my ReelMagic MPEG decompression board,
which is able to play a MPEG video stream under X11.

I am not shure on which point the device has to be.
I think there are two part's, on part which read fast from the CD and
handel a big buffer (because UNIX is not a realtime operationg sysem),
and one to set the position on the screen and set the transparence
color on my X11 window.
Functionality like position, slow motion, fast forware, seek, audio on/off
would be fine !

If someone have heard form a device for LINUX or FREEBSD let me know.

Stephan
