----------------

This package contains additional image/video/font providers and graphics/input drivers.



Xine Video Provider
---------------------

Supports: a wide range of video formats, output in both YUV and RGB,
Colors Adjustment (currently Brightness, Contrast and Saturation) and 
DVD Navigation (use the df_xine program in the samples subdirectory).

Install the Xine Library (xine-lib package) from

	http://www.xinehq.de/

you need at least version 1.0.0-rc3.

If you are an expert user of xine, you may like playing with the following
entries in your ~/.xine/config:

  -> video.dfb.conversion_matrix: select the matrix for YUV->RGB software
                                  conversion;

  -> video.dfb.max_num_frames:    select how many frames must be buffered
                                  at once (greater values give smoother
                                  playback but high memory usage).
