Mplayer comes with his friend mencoder. I doubt that koffeine, totem, xine, vlc have something to offer in that regard. And if I can't play something with vlc I'm almost sure it's playable with mplayer + w32codecs. Yes, I know there won't be w32codecs package in Debian, but even mplayer would be great addition. regards fEnIo -- ,''`.
