As for adding other video formats is not difficult in fact it is trivial. In our case, we are using sysctl for configuration typically this involves a small number. Ideally the unit number should be decoupled from the variable a la snmp however I fear that would be a bigger obstacle to overcome than the one we are facing in the case of Bruce vs Multimedia, Inc. 8) Cheers, Amancio To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
