DivX has been a decent (not perfect, but still decent) Linux player so far. We're hoping that with the settlement of GStreamer as the default media component across desktops on the Linux platform, distributors like Apple will slowly start to pay attention to us. However, that's probably a multi-year thing. I wouldn't expect it to happen instantly. We'll have to live with the (legally questionable) hacks for now - stuff that unfortunately cannot be shipped in Fedora... :-(. Ronald -- Ronald S. Bultje <rbultje@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
