Valuable yes, since it provides useful video processing apps. I'm using it also since recently. It probably is reliable, although for me it did break vlc the moment I started using it. > and is provided by a well-known Debian developer. Good to know. How come there is no link anywhere on debian.org pointing to debian-multimedia.org? Anything to establish a chain of trust. As it is, I looked and looked but didn't find. Even when searching for "multimedia" on debian.org, it does not mention debian-multimedia.org at all. Not even when searching for "debian-multimedia". Every new debian user trying to verify the credibilitiy of debian-multimedia.org would have given up at this point for sure. With the information that Marillat is a Debian developer (and the precise spelling of his name) I was actually able to go to the developer's page on debian org, find him, and see a link to d-m. So in a very roundabout way, d-m is actually endorsed by debian.org. But how would anybody find out about this in a reasonable amount of time? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkvMyOsACgkQ+VSRxYk4409xCwCgiXo8AS/wA8db8M2SP4Kv3c2l knAAnA2Xq8lPi6RtGd06yiMcbrMe45Ih =Kc7/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
