[ale] great digital camera?

[miguel]

I just bought a sony mavica cd400. What a monster camera! my favorite 
feature is to be able to take mpegs. it writes the data to 8cm cd-rw or 
cd-r. But I have noticed I can play an mpeg video several megs
in file size with no problems in my win2k pro workstation using windows 
mediaplayer :-(, but on my RH7.2 machine the same video only plays a few 
seconds  using kdemedia player, plaympeg,  and xmms.....hmmm
strange. Maybee its a graphics hardware acceleration issue(i have a 64mb 
nVidea Gforce2)?, but what is even more strange is that I tried to copy 
the mpeg video to the hd and play it from that location......but this: 
cp mov00001.mpeg ~
results in $? == 1 and a very terse i/o error message....i'll keep 
looking around
