My set-up for watching video is almost complete now. I generate mplayer from source with 'essential' codecs. After an initial hiccup due to some left-over from kaffeine which was not cleanly removed, mplayer works fine. With a 'skin', I can operate it with a GUI. After installed mozilla-mplayer plug-in which is available from 'non-free contrib' I can watch vidoes online from all the sources that I have tried so far. The unsatisfactory part is that the video appears in start-and-stop mode. This is a pain when watching online news. I don't know if the comm link is a problem. I am using a 512Kbps ADSL link. Another thing is to know how to save those videos for offline viewing. The method used from within Mozilla i.e. Tools->Page Info->Media does not always work because a video is often broken up into several image parts.
suggestions would be welcomed. kangja -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
