Alternate Xan Decoder Developed Share on Bluesky Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

Multimedia Mike has created an extension for the Xine player that will decode Origin's Xanmovie file formats. The movies for Wing Commander 3, Wing Commander 4, Kilrathi Saga and the Crusader games used this method of video compression. This will mainly benefit people who like to dabble in the guts of stuff like this, since HCl's actual Movie Player allows fans an easy way to watch scenes from all of the WC games that featured live-actor FMV. You can find more information on Mike's xine plugin and other codec reverse engineering here. Thanks to AD.
