'''xine''' (pronounced as &quot;maxine&quot; without the &quot;ma&quot;) is a multimedia playback engine for Unix released under the GNU General Public License. It can play CDDA, DVD-Video, and VCD, as well as common computer multimedia formats like [[AVI]], [[Windows Media Video|WMV]], [[MOV]], [[MP3]], [[FLAC]], [[Theora]], [[Speex]], and [[Vorbis]].

xine is built as a [[shared library]] (xine-lib) that supports different frontend player applications. To decode multimedia data xine uses libraries from the [[FFmpeg]] project or binary [[codec]]s.
