For a silly mistake, the Matrox mga_vid module was not included in 0.6pre3 so the default label will fail with Matrox cards.
This will be fixed in next release, but if you have a Matrox G200/400/450/550 you can still use 0.6pre3 using the "vesa" or "FB" labels, that make use of the native accelerated mplayer vidix driver instead of the mga_vid module.

If you did not know what MoviX is yet, read about it on

This MoviX pre-release adds a lot of features and fixes and
it close to my idea of the "stable" MoviX version.
Having changed a lot though it is highly possible that this version
contains bugs and/or silly mistakes, so it would be very nice if
you all could test it and let me know what to fix (suggestions are
welcome :)
Once all bugs will be fixed this will become v0.6 and it will be
very similar to my idea of the MoviX "stable" version.... read more

I've just substituted the 0.6pre2 adding a little fix for mkmovixiso,
that now accept names with a relative path.
Sorry for the silly mistake!

Finally MoviX has a nice autoconfiguring install mechanism!
A perl script should make much easier to produce bootable iso images for all your video and audio files.
Pls try out at

This is just a prerelease of the future 0.6, that is supposed to boot from floppy, have some easy-to-use configuration script, support SCSI CD-ROMs and support hw acceleation for more video cards.
At this stage, it may be useful only for people with Acard, Adaptec AIC7xxxx or SYM53C8XX based SCSI cards or for people with a 3Dfx video card.
If you have such cards, please try it out and let me know how it works!

For some silly mistake MoviX 0.5.1 could not load Matrox mga_vid module for faster playback. Now everything should be ok, so if you still want to embed MoviX in your CD to automatically play every video/audio file you have on it
