Has anybody here tried out the Fluendo codecs? http://www.fluendo.com/shop/category/end-user-products/ I'd be willing to pay for them if they worked well and broadly. I've heard they only work in gstreamer though, I'd want something that works with ffmpeg/mplayer/KDE/etc. I also note that the codec pack costs about 2x what an OEM copy of Windows costs the big distributors - I'm not sure if that's a poor licensing deal to Fluendo or to its users. -Bill -- Bill McGonigle, Owner BFC Computing, LLC http://bfccomputing.com/ Telephone: +1.603.448.4440 Email, IM, VOIP: b...@bfccomputing.com VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf Social networks: bill_mcgonigle/bill.mcgonigle _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
