I won't say it sucks, but for me, converting the ogg files with vorbis tools to wav files and then code them to mp3 files with lame was very easy. All CLI, but that's not a bad thing ;-) Thanks for your input though. I finally -DID- manage to compile gst-plugins-ugly -AFTER- I compiled mplayer with all its deps (with the CBE). Lots of things (useful for the ugly plugins) were found after that;-) I even have DVD playback now with totem! The only thing that is very very difficult to achive is support for the MS plugins (wvm / mms i.e.). Those files are only supported by mplayer right now (so I don't complain .. mplayer works very well). Multimedia is very well supported by mplayer-plugin once mplayer is installed. Almost everything works in firefox (which can't be said for the totem plugins. They do almost nothing). All in all I'm a happy man ;-) -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: 01D2433D ++ http://nagual.nl/ + SunOS sxce snv91 ++
