NAME
       pia - play media files

SYNOPSIS
       pia [ options ] movie

DESCRIPTION
       pia is a small X11 tool which plays movie files.

OPTIONS
       pia understands the usual toolkit options (-geometry + friends).	 Addi‐
       tional options are:

       -h     display help text

       -v     be verbose.

       -debug enable debug messages.

       -dsp <dev>
	      Use OSS device <dev> for sound.

       -noxv  Disable Xvideo extension.

       -nogl  Disable OpenGL.

       -noaudio
	      Don't play sound.

       -novideo
	      Don't play video.

       -slow n
	      Slowdown video playback by factor n.  n=2 doubles playback time,
	      ...  This also turns off audio playback.

SUPPORTED MOVIE FORMATS
       Main  purpose  of  this	utility is to playback movie files recorded by
       xawtv, motv and streamer.  It should be able to playback every  AVI  or
       QuickTime  movie	 written by one of the mentioned utilities.  Feel free
       to submit a bug report if this doesn't work for some file.

   QuickTime
       pia uses libquicktime to decode quicktime movies,  thus	it  should  be
       able  to	 decode	 and  playback	all  movies  with  codecs supported by
       libquicktime.

   AVI
       AVI support is very limited.  Video: uncompressed RGB data (15  and  24
       bpp) and mjpeg is supported.  Audio: only uncompressed PCM data works.

   WAV
       WAV  files  are	playable too, with the same limitation like AVI audio:
       only uncompressed PCM data.
