5 Way SCART/S-Video Switch Box > Maplin
This seems like a very nice way to get a games console or camcorder hooked up to the TV alongside your DVD, Freeview and VCR . It is manual and 24.99, so maybe the automatically switched one for 29.99 is worth the extra.

Composite AV and S-Video inputs make this box ideal for playing/recording camcorder footage
Scart Adaptors to audio, s-video, phono, composite and splitters
I don't know this supplier, but their page looks straightforward and prices reasonable.

These adaptors are not ideal for converting one TV Scart input into multiple TV inputs, unless only one input device is turned on, see other ranges for this.

DVD, Freeview set-top-box and a video recorder into a TV set with a single SCART socket, you may soon find you've run out of sockets - and what you'll been needing is a SCART switch box.
TV Connection Advisor
Actuallly this is mostly analogue, but it does give a good idea for connecting up a TV to a VCR, DVD and Freeview. Should even allow you to watch Freeview and record analogue TV, without multiple SCART sockets for the TV. I will try this tomorrow.

To watch or record digital TV, you'll need to set your DVD/video recorder to 'Line In / AV' (i.e via the SCART feed), and watch via the video channel on your TV.

Watching AVI Movies in Mac OS X - Mac Guides
open source apps that work on Mac OS X, and quicktime plugins, for all those weird video formats

There are 2 programs at present that can open .avi files and both are open source and free to download. Many users prefer to keep both installed to provide compatibility with as many file formats as possible.

Video codecs and file formats in an incredibly small nutshell - easily digestible

• Theora is a truly open-source video codec based on On2’s VP3 codec, as a part of the Ogg project. It provides comparable quality to MPEG-4 ASP (e.g. XviD), and it is BSD-licensed. Did I mention that it is open-source (unlike any of the MPEG, Microsoft, or On2 codecs)? I’ll discuss this in more detail in a future post.
...Unfortunately, FLV only supports two codecs: H.263 (bad) and On2 VP6 (great but commercial). That said, if the web is your medium, FLV is the obvious choice.
Error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
This workaround did the trick, in my case even for 640 pixel videos (from my still camera) that would not display with this error. The other workarounds were red herrings (that is, removing compiz and switching from intel to i810 driver) at least in my c

@Jacob: -i810 and -intel have a different codebase, both need to get fixed and both work now. There is a bug in the intel driver though that makes video playback crash on older cards (i830, i915), but those cards work fine with the i810 driver.

Strange trouble with ATI and Intel graphics hardware and acceleration of 3D graphics and 2D video. Workarounds here didn't work for me, as I didn't have xserver-xgl installed, and I wasn't using compiz. See http://web.archive.org/web/20070811052657/http

maybe you have xserver-xgl installed? I had it installed and I simply did not know (probably I just forgot) -- and searched really REALLY long for the reason for my crashes with glxgears and the damned slow display.

(Incidentally, I know I'm using a Dapper repository when I'm really running Gutsy. For whatever reason, Real Player isn't in the Gutsy repository. It works, and that's the main thing.)
As an aside, I do recognise that Real Player is free (as in beer), but not free (as in freedom) - and the Helix player, which is free-libre, won't apparently decode our streams. I want to let you know that we're constantly evaluating additional ways to listen to BBC Radio online. And failing that, there's this thing called a DAB Digital Radio which is really rather popular these days.
