Yes, and the other set is ffmpeg with a different wrapper lib around it, nothing else. When i said that ffmpeg is _the_codec_library_ then i mean it that way. Heck, even a lot of comercial players use it, if not most of them. Attila Kinali -- The true CS students do not need to know how to program.
