On my laptop, mplayer has a problem with the AC3 audio (not compiled in), so I can see the video, but not listen to the audio. I think the installed version came from livna. (that's the version that came shipped with the laptop.) Totem seems to have no problems playing both audio and video though. On my desktop/server machine, it plays the audio and the video just fine. (for some reason, I'm running the ATRPMs version on my home server. Maybe because its also the MythTV server.) Can't install the ATRPMs version on the FC6 laptop. That'll have to wait until I upgrade the FC6.i386 to F8.x86_64. Probably some time after the new year. Whether the files are strict MPEG-2, I can't tell you. The file command seems to think they are some flavor of MPEG-2: > MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex > Richard -- Kevin J.
