Hi Simon,
Thanks for that information. I thought I had totally lost it and was
ready for a rubber room. :-) Dan had suggested xine and I just finished
the make install but as I'm sitting here typing this note I'm thinking
back (all the way to yesterday :-0) and if I am correct the reason I was
compiling xmms was as a requirement for something else. I hate not
knowing what I'm doing. I'm a very slow reader. Is there a book or
something out there that can teach me the basics of video rendering on
computers? What I'm really looking for is something to help me
understand what I need and why I need it.
Arnie
