Sometimes I'll test both Linux & windows codecs for picture quality especially when watching the STS missions (nasa-tv) I've seen marked differences at times, Linux is the default. > The website says that one should pick the package meant for your CPU and > OS.

Vista, Vista well you let the side down I'm afraid :-) No seriously I'm streaming patrick as we speak not the link you point to as I watched that on tv here in the uk the cosmic debris link (no difference codecs wise) > > This clip: > <http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/science/space/realmedia/skyatnigh >t_dec07?size=16x9&bgc=000000&nbram=1&bbram=1> > > Found on this page: > <http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/spaceguide/skyatnight/proginfo.shtml> nice page, bookmarked. All these codecs will play the links: rv3040 rv3040win rv40 rv40win. I always make use the cache & bandwidth options when streaming realvideo on the command line (see other post) or get mplayerplug-in (point'n click) and watch from firefox. $mplayer -cache 128 -vc rv3040 -bandwidth 4000000 \ rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/science/space/bb/skyatnight_jan08_16x9_bb.rm -vc is not needed generally if you put the codecs were mplayer will find them. post back with the command line used if you get stuck. ...dex -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
