Most of the aforementioned software makes use of ffmpeg in one way or another. CVS is the only way to get at the latest code base....Lots of different codecs and folks that know their stuff on codecs.... http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/index.php an old, stale version is in portage: (eix ffmpeg) PS drop me a line if/when you get the h264 codec working out of cvs on gentoo.... I have several different pieces of hardware that produce 'h.264' based video, everything from embedded systems that are a 'hack in progress' to finished products from the orient. Interoperability testing is always of keen interest to me. HTH, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
