Thanks again Peter - I'll try this as soon as I get a chance... Nathan Peter Robinson wrote: Thanks for the reply. I'm using FC3, but I'm not too familiar with any of the administrative stuff. I've mostly used 'yum' when I want something new, and I've tried this to get the newest gstreamer but still no luck. Do you happen to know how to get these addons that you are talking about and how to install them? I've not dealt with rpms much. Thanks again.Should be as simple as doing the following: wget http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/3/freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1-1.fc.fr.noarch.rpm rpm -ivh freshrpms-release-1-1.fc.fr.noarch.rpm yum install gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio You can find the package list available at http://heidelberg.freshrpms.net/ there are a number of pre-built packages to add extra functionality such as various audio/video codecs etc. Work out the name of the binary package and do a 'yum install package-name' and yum will pull in any extras that you need. Other worth while packages are also gstreamer-plugins-extra-video, gstreamer-plugins-extra-dvd and gstreamer-ffmpeg, yum will pull in any other packages you may need. Peter |
