Hello, I have a simple goal - to convert realaudio files I have saved to my drive into mp3s, on the fbsd command line. The answer, I have been told, is to install mplayer with realaudio support, and then just: mplayer file.ra -ao pcm That sounds reasonable. But I have two issues. First, I see no mplayer+realaudio in the ports tree - just mplayer. How do I get realaudio support into mplayer ? Second, just what kind of install is mplayer (and mplayer + realaudio, for that matter) ?? I want to keep this system nice and clean - and I will be upset if mplayer installs a million dependencies, or does something lame like install X for me, when I don't want it. So can someone describe just what an mplayer install is like ... and how to keep it from installing X, etc., if that is what it does ? thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
