Ah, its simple on linux - you just need to fully understand and memorize all the interacting meanings of the 3,274 factorial possible combinations of command line options on mencoder :-). On the multi-boot topic: I've just gotten fedora 15 installed on a partition of my new Dell Zino HD that came with 64bit Windows 7. I used the EasyBCD program to edit the Windows boot manager config to be in charge of the multi-booting because I didn't want to possibly clobber any of the mysterious Dell magic voo-doo that may or may not be part of the MBR (reports are conflicting :-). Fedora is totally confined to the separate ext4 partition I created (along with a swap partition). I also used gparted from a live Ubuntu USB stick to resize the single giant NTFS partition Dell provided. It worked much better than the Windows 7 native disk manager which wouldn't let me try to shrink the partition to any smaller size than 500 Gig. I made it a much more sensible 120 Gig with gparted, and no horrible consequences cropped up when I booted back to Windows. I have a feeling I won't be switching between the systems very much, I'm just not sure which will turn out to be the primary (probably Windows, since I can play Blu-Ray discs on it, and this is primarily a home theatre PC). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
