Howdy all,
Great thread! I was happy to find it however old. Does anyone know what the best video plugins are for Firefix on Linux? Some detail... I had a spare intel box sitting around and put Ubuntu on it, I'm so pleased that as an experiment I've decided to use it as my primary desk workstation for the time being. Ironicly the only problem I have is I can't find any good plugins. Currently I have the totem media player plugins installed. These function very poorly if at all for most video types. I tried the VLC plugins as VLC is the best media player on any platform and I've been using it for years. However, for some reason they didn't work. I'm about to go back and give VLC a second try though. I'm hoping some linux guru will pop up and say there's some package that everyone swears by. Until then, I'll be googling around the web desperately looking for some good video plugins for linux. BTW, the Flash and Real Player plugin's work great. I just can't play MOV's, MP4's and other downloadable formats. -Mike mmeiser.com mefeedia.com On 2/26/07, Bill Streeter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have hope that this: http://ubuntustudio.org/ will be the great > opensource media creation Linux distro--but we'll see ...
