Development Release: eMoviX 0.9.0rc1 |
| eMoviX is a micro Linux distro meant to be embedded in a CD together with all video/audio files you want, so that the CD will be able to boot and automagically play all of its own files. eMoviX 0.9.0rc1 is out: "This 0.9.0rc1 version contains several improvements and bugfixes and most likely, since it has been already thoroughly tested, it will become shortly the new stable version. All features that I meant to implement in eMoviX when I first started the project (many more, actually!) are now fully developed so this same version will also probably become the final 1.0 eMoviX version." Read the complete announcement and eMoviX documentations and future features. Download: emovix-0.9.0rc1.tar.gz (10.8MB).

| About MoviX |
MoviX is a package that allows you to create bootable CDs able to boot & autoplay your multimedia files. It is intended mainly to play video files but if you want it can be used to play also audio files. I plan to release eventually a distro similar to MoviX but aimed at audio only, so stay tuned! The philosophy behind MoviX is to make possible to generate video/audio CDs that are self-sufficient, i.e. that you can play on every PC regardless of what is installed on it: just insert the MoviX CD inside a CD/DVD-ROM and boot the PC from there!
MoviX2 is a small Linux distro on CD aimed at playing multimedia: when you boot your PC with the MoviX2 CD the distro should be able to start X-Window and launch gmplayer, the GUI interface to mplayer, so that you are left with a nice user-friendly interface you can control by your mouse. At that point you can safely remove the MoviX2 CD and play all multimedia files you want: DVD [no zone constraint], VCD, DivX, avi, mpg, mp3, ogg etc. |
