mplayer and some other things most-often used for playback might be a bit of a hard-to-categorise subject though, ie: mplayer ships with mencoder, which is more editing spectrum. I'm lead to believe you can do some degree of transcoding with VLC too, but I might have a memory problem ( I recall reading something along those lines, but it may be "future tense" ) incidentally, I'd be in favour of splitting mplayer and mencoder into seperate dists if it were sanely plausible to do so. -- Kent perl -e "print substr( \"edrgmaM SPA NOcomil.ic\\@tfrken\", \$_ * 3, 3 ) for ( 9,8,0,7,1,6,5,4,3,2 );" http://kent-fredric.fox.geek.nz
