Also, mplayer comes with the full 9 yards of ripping and encoding.
Can't make it on Tuesday, But I'd be happy to make suggestions. where did you get your mplayer from? a package or did you compile it? Oh and if you are interested in ripping and encoding, see the article on transcode here: http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/53 Also the article on Main Actor (although I found the article a little confusing compared to actually doing it myself). Main Actor is worth getting if you want to do video editing on linux. Ignore the article on qdvdauthor, IMHO http://dvdstyler.sf.net is superior. > > Douglas. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ======================================================================= > This email, including any attachments, is only for the intended > addressee.
