Regardless, as far as I know, Ubuntu does not ship h.264 encoding or decoding support in any of its standard, official releases. It has only done so in custom OEM builds, with specific licensing agreements in place - the systems provided with h264 support were licensed. See http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05/05/canonical_h264_video/ , for e.g., from when this 'ubuntu ships h264' meme first started going around. It really doesn't. If you google 'ubuntu h264', what you get are lots of instructions for installing packages from third-party repos. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
