Self-Hosting Movies with MoviX (Linux Journal)
Linux Journal steps through
the process of building a live Linux CD for watching movies. "...a
few months ago I looked on the Net for a Linux CD mini-distribution that is
able to boot and play automatically all audio/video files on the CD. I was
very surprised to find none. Therefore, my only chance to get one was to
develop it myself, and so I started working on MoviX. Now, I am not a Linux
guru and I know close to zero about multimedia playback, but the beauty of
open source is you can put together tools developed by people who know much
more than you and still create something new and useful. I put together my
knowledge of Slackware management (I've been fond of Slackware since 1994)
and the MPlayer ("the" multimedia player) and IsoLinux (an easy-to-use
Linux CD bootloader) package I had recently found out on the Net and began
building my distribution."
