The Debian Multimedia folks have codecs for this format, but there may be legal issues regarding the use of their packages. The responsibility is yours to determine if or which formats/packages may violate local laws.
Also, in my experience WMV just does not look good under Linux. Most of the applications you would be using under Windows or OSX support other codecs that are a better choice anyway. FYI, SuSe licences a number of things, which is probably why WMVs work under SuSe. The community driven distributions will never ship with those packages, you have to sort that out on your own. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkm8EvgACgkQwRXgH3rKGfMyYQCeO0a3a04XngRANl7tt2u+jpeW BJYAoLLBUnWyuCRUY3qj0mP16ruQwNgZ =Z7CY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
