> > Not that I'm holding my breath for office documents with embedded soundtracks ;) well, for some talks, animations are really necessary, i.e. talks describing results from computational fluid dynamics simulations. Currently, I cut out of OOo to a terminal window where I use mplayer to show these movies (since they were all encoded with mencoder). Having them embeded in the presentation is the one feature from powerpoint I am missing. > > > When I try the diagnostic applet linked to there (after restarting > > mozilla), I get: > > > > JMF classes.....Not Found > > Looks like mozilla doesn't know about the CLASSPATH (it's not a global > variable, but depends on the shell you're in). > Maybe you set that classpath variable in the mozilla start script or > the launcher. There is currently no CLASSPATH in the mozilla script that I see. I will play around with adding one explicitly to see what that does. > I don't think Fedora will be integrating JMF since it's not open > source and not freely distributable. > see: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/license.html Right, of course, I understand this. But since there is an effort to make openoffice.org work with gcj and to make a gcj based JRE for the next Fedora release, I am sure people wanting to take advantage of all of OOo distributed with FC will want to install JMF themselves to deal with multimedia. I am interested in anyones experiences so far. I will keep playing with this, and I will post any success as follow-ups. Mike
