Perhaps you are thinking of mplayer, which does. Xine has native codec players, available as the package xine-lib-extras-freeworld, which is available at rpmfusion.org note that if you are playing dvd's, you will likely also need the libdvdcss package to deal with region locked dvd's (not necessary for files extracted, or encoded from the dvd). http://rpmfusion.org/FAQ#head-ad193f146afb4c556137f9009c5bfaabba21d74c All the best, - -Greg > Unfortunately, I do not know if any of the fedora repos package them. > > > > - -- +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ Please also check the log file at "/dev/null" for additional information.
