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  avail-
       able).   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.
