I have tried totem and I could never get it to work. Mplayer plays all
the formats I need. Quite frankly if I pay for a M$ os, I expect that I
can use the dll's for what I want!! Oh, all M$ is worried about is $!!
Linux on the other hand is worried about the user.  I wish I knew more
then I do so I can help a lot more, but, that time will come.  For
people who volunteer to maintain this project, my hat is off to you
all!!! :)

I swear by Fedora!! I am running several production servers from this
OS, all FC4. I did an upgrade from FC2.
So far I am very happy with FC5T2!  There was bugs, but hey, it is
titled "Test"! I do not think some people are getting that. A test
release is for testing so the bugs can get worked out.
