What makes Windows/MAC more successful is they encourage third party

played. Fedora, Ubuntu, and the other major
Linux Distributions lack this so illegal means are common. It is time
for third party developers to
sell codecs for the major Linux distributions thus ending the illegal route.
They already do. See http://fluendo.com for example. What third party
developers do isn't really on topic for this list.
Also, the ogg theora codec isn't ready for prime time yet, I hope it
will be fully able for Fedora 8
and beyond.

There also should be a GNOME app that encodes DV to OGG. I
wish there was
an OGG codec equivalent of Flash for web sites, that would be very ideal...
Both of these are already available in the repositories. Here is a FAQ I
wrote on the subject
