Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by BobJensen: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Multimedia The comment on the change is: Marking FC5 Content ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + {{{ + Fedora Core 5 Release Notes Content is marked like this. + }}} = Multimedia = Fedora Core includes applications for assorted multimedia functions, including playback, recording and editing. Additional packages are available through the Fedora Extras repository. == Multimedia Players == - + {{{ The default installation of Fedora Core includes '''Rhythmbox''', '''Totem''', and '''Helix Player''' for media playback. Many other programs are available in the Fedora Core and Fedora Extras repositories, including the popular `XMMS` package. Both GNOME and KDE have a selection of players that can be used with a variety of formats. Additional programs are available from third parties to handle other formats. Fedora Core also takes full advantage of the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) sound system. Many programs can play sound simultaneously, which was once difficult on Linux systems. When all multimedia software is configured to use ALSA for sound support, this limitation disappears. For more information about ALSA, visit the project website at http://www.alsa-project.org/. - + }}} == Ogg and Xiph.Org Foundation Formats == Fedora includes complete support for the Ogg media container format, and the Vorbis audio, Theora video, Speex audio, and FLAC lossless audio formats. These freely-distributable formats are not encumbered by patent or license restrictions. They provide powerful and flexible alternatives to more popular, restricted formats. The Fedora Project encourages the use of open source formats in place of restricted ones. For more information on these formats and how to use them, refer to the Xiph.Org Foundation's web site at http://www.xiph.org/. @@ -24, +27 @@ == Screencasts == - You can use Fedora to create and play back ''screencasts'', which are recorded desktop sessions, using open technologies. Fedora Extras 5 includes `istanbul`, which creates screencasts using the Theora video format. These videos can be played back using one of several players included in Fedora Core. This is the preferred way to submit screencasts to the Fedora Project for either developer or end-user use.
