Yes. Not with totem though. Install mplayer and mplayerplug-in from livna, then install the windows codecs from http://www.mplayerhq.hu and put them in /usr/local/lib/win32. Any video format has its own codecs i.e. a piece of software that codes/decodes the information specific to that format. The wmv format is a windows multimedia format. Mplayer does some wizardry and calls some windows dlls (more or less) to play wmv. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
