The video would improve interest as the story behind the puzzles is lost without it. The video doesn't have to be required, just available. Several games already do this, Wesnoth in particular. The meta package wesnoth-all doesn't include the music.
I sent the following email to Ivo the maintainer: I was trying to get it (http://fillets.sourceforge.net/intro.avi) included into the Ubunto repos but a question came up about it's legal status and license: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fillets-ng/+bug/241483 I think having the video available as an optional (recommended) package is important as it provides context to the game. If it's legally permitted to redistribute, can the devs supply a version in Theora instead of DivX? The DivX codes are a pain. ----------------------------------------- Ivo Danihelka to me On Mon, Jun 23, 2008 at 4:34 AM, Jeff Hanson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If it's legally permitted to redistribute Yes, it is under GPL. Altar, the original author, GPLed all source and data files. These original files could be found at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104032 It is an interesting idea to provide the video as a desktop icon. That would not require to implement own media player. > can the devs supply a > version in Theora instead of DivX? The DivX codes are a pain. Do you have any recommendations what to use to convert it? -- Ivo Danihelka ----------------------------------------- I suggested a few to him and asked that he comment here. I recommended that he use the original uncompressed version of the video so as to avoid quality problems from consecutive lossy compression passes. -- Could include intro video https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241483 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
