Mplayer is generally a command-line media player but will bring up a graphical interface when invoked to play a media file.
MPlayer was created in 2000.

VLC, definitely.
with command `mplayer -loop number-of-repeatsfilename`if number-of-repeats is set to 0, the movie would loop for ever.

To play a VOB file on Mandriva, you can use a media player like VLC or MPlayer, which are commonly available in the software repositories. First, install VLC or MPlayer using the package manager (e.g., urpmi vlc or urpmi mplayer). Once installed, simply right-click the VOB file and select "Open With" to choose your media player, or open the player and navigate to the VOB file to play it.
There are number of popular alternatives to the MPlayer. VLC media player is a great alternative that will play almost any type of video. Banshee and Quick Time Player are also good alternatives.

Okay, two possible ways: 1) The GSpot Codec Information Appliance from http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ This is a really fantastic utility - but it only runs in Windows... :( 2) Use mplayer in -identify mode. Here is a very quick and dirty script I wrote: #!/bin/bash # run mplayer in -identify mode and capture output # # uncomment and amend the next line if mplayer is not in your path # export mplayer_PATH= {your path to mplayer} # info="$mplayer_PATH/mplayer -identify -frames 0 -vo null -ao null $1 2>/dev/null | grep ID_ >> video_probe_results" eval "$info"; cat "video_probe_results" rm "video_probe_results" The sort of output it gives you is: ID_VIDEO_ID=0 ID_AUDIO_ID=1 ID_FILENAME=../Desktop/CG_SC_R01_copy.mp4 ID_DEMUXER=mov ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=avc1 ID_VIDEO_BITRATE=0 ID_VIDEO_WIDTH=346 ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT=288 ID_VIDEO_FPS=25.000 ID_VIDEO_ASPECT=0.0000 ID_AUDIO_FORMAT=mp4a ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=256000 ID_AUDIO_RATE=44100 ID_AUDIO_NCH=2 ID_LENGTH=1652.36 ID_VIDEO_CODEC=ffh264 ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=256000 ID_AUDIO_RATE=44100 ID_AUDIO_NCH=2 ID_AUDIO_CODEC=faad
Well.. you need a music player. There are many. But in my opinion, mplayer is good enough. You could download the same from http://www.mplayerhq.hu If you are looking for a command line MP3 player, you could use mpg321. http://mpg321.sourceforge.net/
