Binary distribution of MPEG encoders (either video or > > audio) is not permitted due to licensing/patent issues. A little correction. It is permitted you just have to play the MPEG-LA a certain amount of money. Than you are allowed to distribute binary mpeg encoders.

The sources of the mpeg2enc and mp2enc could be aviable in the suse source packages.

I wrote that thing twice to the Suse Distribution support mailinglist. But never got any feedback, or anything obvious changed. :-/ auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
