MythTV includes (or did at the time I maintained it) a copy of ffmpeg, which was at one point not permitted into Debian. It is included now, but I am not aware of the reasons for its exclusion, nor the changes which took place in order for it to be allowed. Just something to check into when considering MythTV. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
