The AMBULANT Player

<quote>
The AMBULANT player may also be used as a complete, multi-platform media
player for applications that do not need support for closed, proprietary
media formats.

The AMBULANT SMIL Player is provided in two formats: an open source
distribution that can be built on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows systems,
and a set of convenience installers that have been pre-built for various
platforms. Please pick the appropriate link in the following table to
select the desired AMBULANT distribution.

*If you want to use AMBULANT as a media player, please keep in mind that
licensing issues prevent us from providing support for RealMedia or
WindowsMedia proprietary formats in this release of AMBULANT.*
