Well now you just copy the DVD to mpeg, Many people have mentioned the need for DVD decoders before, I can just imagine why! Bottom line is There are many other forms of movies to play from hard drive. Have you ever had some-one send a wmv, avi or mpeg via email. Well to get a mail and discover Oh hell I need xine or mplayer can also be a pain. > > Maybe some one could explain why we don't do it that way. I don't know > > what the legal problem is exaclty.

Sure I know and you know what the deps are and we have all been to fedorafaq, my point is that I never found fedorafag until I was running mplayer which had a reference to it somewhere (or was it xine?) It doesn't help to have online support when you don't have time to use it. Look maybe I will remain a wish, but we should look at putting some more practical utils in the distro. See my next wish list. cheers for now -- ****************************************************************** Chadley Wilson Soon 2 B RHCE Linux Rocks Welcome to my world.
