Control: tags -1 patch Hi,
Attached is a patch for this issue. I just copy/paste from [1]. I didn't take the 2nd item because it looks too technical and redundant in my point of view. But you can add something like the content of the attached file "whats-new-extra.txt" [1] http://wiki.debian.org/NewInWheezy Baptiste

<para> &debian; &releasename; comes with full-featured libav (formerly ffmpeg) libraries and frontends, including e.g. <command>mplayer</command>, <command>mencoder</command>, <command>vlc</command> and <command>transcode</command>. Additional codec support is provided e.g. through <command>lame</command> for MP3 audio encoding, <command>xvidcore</command> for MPEG-4 ASP video encoding, <command>x264</command> for H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video encoding, <command>vo-aacenc</command> for AAC audio encoding and <command>opencore-amr</command> and <command>vo-amrwbenc</command> for Adaptive Multi-Rate Narrowband and Wideband encoding and decoding, respectively. For most use cases, installation of packages from third-party repositories should not be necessary anymore. The times of crippled multimedia support in &debian; are finally over! </para>
