You could also try aviplayer from the avifile package
at avifile.sourceforge.net. I was using the 0.5 branch
but upgraded recently to 0.6 from CVS. That needed a
bit of library fetching (divx4, ffmpeg...) but now it
works like a charm, fullscreen and what not. Combine that
with the newest xine for mpg/dvd viewing and transcode
(http://www.theorie.physik.uni-goettingen.de/~ostreich/transcode/)
for ripping into AVIs plus vcr (http://www.stack.nl/~brama/vcr/) for
recording from a tv card and you have a complete multimedia/video solution
for Linux.
