Is it me or is there a severe lack of multimedia functionality in Linux.
It seems that most of the video players for linux are just simple
players, none extended functionality that us visual effects people,
desire. I can't fathom the idea that there is no decent high end media
player for linux that supports all the common file formats, that allows
for both audio and video, frame stepping (front and back), or frame rate
change, looping, pretty much all the necessary tools that any animator
would need for referencing video footage for, oh lets say, facial
animation. Hell I would even appreciate a working flipbook in Linux, but
anything other than image sequences, and it just doesn't work. We've
tried VLC, pfPlay, MPlayer, as well as some others, but none seem to
yield to our desires. Major bummer..


How abouts does everyone else go about this?? is Wine or CrossOver the
only options. Thats a big WTF.
