Quicktime movies can use any number of video/audio codecs, and most authoring tools by default use the proprietory ones, forcing end-users to use 'licensed' players... But, some Quicktime movies are 'safe'. I used 'xanim', even if it can't play all of them, it tells me what codec it's built with. > Randall > > -- > Randall Hopper > aa8vb@nc.rr.com -- Brian 'you Bastard' Reichert <reichert@numachi.com> 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA Intel architecture: the left-hand path To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
