[aklug] Re: What's the story on ffmpeg?

Here's my method for installing multimedia on Ubuntu. It also includes instructions for Compis-Fusion.

I'm not sure about the "realplayer" codec. I haven't used it in years. It looks like people are switching to mp3 streams and flash for video.

Hope this info helps.

A couple of months ago I pretty much abandoned gentoo for new stuff. All o=
f my deployed servers still run gentoo (why change if they're working?). I=
'm putzing with ubuntu for desktops and laptops, and am favorably impressed=
 so far. There are a few annoyances, and this resembles one of them.

How do I redo/recompile/reconfigure/?? Mplayer and vlc to use the 'realplay=
er' codecs? Or any other codecs for that matter.

Googling doesn't give much, and what it does give seems to be obsolete or n=
o-longer-the-way or just plain don't work.

Thanks for any pointers.
