MVEPLAYER(1)

NAME
mveplayer - Standalone MVE movie player.

SYNOPSIS
mveplayer [options] filename.mv[e|l]

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the mveplayer command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

mveplayer is a standalone player for MVE movie files, like that found in the DESCENT II videogame and played by the D2X package. It supports all MVE files around, so if you find one that doesn't work, please report this as a bug. Note that the MVE files found in the Macintosh version of Descent II are not really MVE files, they appear to be some sort of quicktime-related format. If you give to mveplayer the name of an MVL file, i.e. an archive containing one ore more MVE files, it will print the full contents of the archive to stdout. You'll find some MVE files as part of the Descent II Registered datafiles.

OPTIONS
