I'm not the video conversion expert (yet) but I'm constantly wanting to do this at work when people release files as wmv, mov, etc. I love the idea of having a collection of free media available. There are so many videos out there I'm always looking to point people to. A couple of thoughts up front. Is there any legal exposure if we use tools with potential patent problems to convert content even if they aren't distributed on the DVD? h.264 comes to mind as an example. The tools are available in the livna repos but not in the default repos. Should all of the content on the DVD be licensed under free licenses such as Creative Commons, or is it acceptable for the Copyrite holder to release the content for distribution with the DVD. The obvious drawback there would be that people receiving the DVD wouldn't be able to reuse the content. -- Russell Harrison -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
