I am familiar with xine and mplayer.  Xine works better in 
my opinion.  My mythtv setup uses mplayer.

My original question concerned file systems.  I was looking 
for a file system that could handle video (large files) and 
be compatible with windows and linux.  The only system I can 
find that might be able to do that is VFAT.  VFAT is okay 
for windows but I cant see using it for linux.

So, instead of trying to make one drive work with two 
different operating systems I decided to let each system 
have its own drive.  That way I can use VFAT with windows 
and jfs with linux.
