As I wrote to Ivanko, apart from the fact that video formats are a mess anyway, isn't the flash format just a container format? As are most other well known "video" formats, BTW - even mpeg4, I lately read, doesn't specify _exactly_ its contents, but allows for a - albeit rather strictly controlled - range of content codings. Your problem with Youtube videos might even be caused by that mess - the file extensions tell close to nothing about the content, and sometimes they're righteously misleading. Change the extension that your player doesn't like to something it accepts, and it tries and opens the file and there's a good chance that it will find it acceptable... BTW, Linux' mplayer is very versatile in this respect and takes most formats you throw at it. And it can even convert to other formats. (But other players are versatile enough as well;) -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
