Thanks for the info. I do already have the latest version of xine (just checked). Unfortunately, mplayer refuses to run on YDL 4.0.1, at least it does on my iBook G3. There was a thread about this on the newbie list a couple months ago. The version that yum installs (supposedly the latest one) just will not run. Maybe it will if I compile from source, but I've never done that before and I'm somewhat intimidated.
Anyway, I installed xine using yum as a solution to the mplayer problem. (Mplayer is also buggy on OS X; it's probably not something confined to Linux). And VLC doesn't seem to be either in the YDL repos or at freshrpms. -PRH On Friday 10 March 2006 20:22, Cian Duffy wrote: > On 11/03/06, Paul Higgins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > IAre there more codecs for .mov and Quicktime than what come > > built-in to xine?
