Yeah but there are tools to do it: The mplayer at `ayo' repo for core 3 works on my newly updated F4. http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/3/i386/freshrpms You will need the codec package here: http://www2.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/codecs.html (The one named `essential'.. first in list) There may be directions with it I didn't look. I just opened the package and put it all under /usr/local/win32. Where mplayer seemed to be looking for it. It worked fine after that. On at least the 1 *.wmv video I wanted to see. Oh, and there were a herd of dependancies. But that all just worked when I put this in yum.conf: baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/3/i386/freshrpms Yum pulled down a bunch of other packages including mplayer. I then installed the codecs, and away she goes.
