NAME

       lqtplay - simple quicktime movie player for X11.

SYNOPSIS

       lqtplay [ options ] file

DESCRIPTION

       lqtplay  just  plays  the given quicktime movie in a window on your X11 display.  Sound is played using a
       OSS dsp device or Alsa (if available).  Some info about the movie and some  other  stuff  is  printed  on
       stderr.   No fancy GUI.  The only interactive element is that you can resize the window, and lqtplay will
       adapt the video size if support for hardware-scaled video is available.

       lqtplay comes with libquicktime and uses libquicktime to read and decode the  movies.   It  is  a  sample
       application  and  intentionally  kept  simple.   If you want a full-featured media player, have a look at
       gstreamer.

OPTIONS

       -noxv  Don't use the Xvideo extension for accelerated video playback (YUV->RGB color space  conversion  +
              video scaling in hardware).

       -nogl  Don't  use  OpenGL  (via  GLX  extension)  for  video scaling.  By default lqtplay tries to use 3D
              textures to scale RGB frames in hardware if DRI is available.

       -noalsa
              Don't use Alsa for audio output.  By default lqtplay uses Alsa if  it  was  available  at  compile
              time.

       The usual toolkit options (like -geometry) are accepted too.
