| 25 | .SH DESCRIPTION | ||
| 26 | This manual page documents briefly the | ||
| 27 | .B mveplayer | ||
| 28 | command. | ||
| 29 | This manual page was written for the Debian distribution | ||
| 30 | because the original program does not have a manual page. | ||
| 31 | .PP | ||
| 32 | .B mveplayer | ||
| 33 | is a standalone player for MVE movie files, like that found in the | ||
| 34 | DESCENT II videogame and played by the D2X package. It supports all MVE | ||
| 35 | files around, so if you find one that doesn't work, please report this as | ||
| 36 | a bug. Note that the MVE files found in the Macintosh version of Descent II | ||
| 37 | are not really MVE files, they appear to be some sort of quicktime-related | ||
| 38 | format. | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | If you give to | ||
| 41 | .B mveplayer | ||
| 42 | the name of an MVL file, i.e. an archive containing one ore more MVE files, | ||
| 43 | it will print the full contents of the archive to stdout. | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | You'll find some MVE files as part of the Descent II Registered datafiles. | ||
| 46 | .SH OPTIONS | ||
| 47 | A summary of options is included below. These command-line options do | ||
| 48 | not appear to be documented elsewhere, so the only authoritive source is | ||
| 49 | the source code itself. | ||
