.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
