This doesn't match what I know, from what I can see in the source the modules you listed simply call out to the necessary libraries to do the actual decoding? But I might have missed some codecs, so feel free to point out codecs that VLC implements itself, I might just be looking in the wrong parts of the source. > just read http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ and guess why for MPEG-2, DivX, > H.264, MKV, WebM, WMV, MP3... are no codec packages needed The VLC build system has functionality to let people download, build and bundle the libraries it depends on, for platforms where those aren't available system-wide (the most prominent would probably be Windows and OS X). -- Martin Sandsmark >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
