So both things should be installed by default +and with all the codecs needed. if someone says 'I want support for +XViD in the default Gnome install', well, you should install the needed +gstreamer module. So everything should be supported by the standard +official player. + +After that, you can install other players, better if they fit the +desktop. For example, after totem I would vote for gnome-mplayer, +the Gnome front end for mplayer. And after that, other 'foreign' +players like VLC or the like. + +So what would I put in distrib ISO ? totem and main bunch of +gstreamer codecs, that carries no dicussion, and if there is still +space, gnome-mplayer and mplayer. + +I suppose the same can be thought for KDE. Install whatever the +default phonon-based player is, and if there is space, others. + +I think nowadays the default official players are capable of playing +the main formats everybody will use (XVid, DiVX, h264, mpeg, mp3 or +ac3 audio, etc...). + +><i> I love to use VLC to play videos, because it's simple, work out of the +</I>><i> box and efficiently. I have some issues with it (it doesn't manage to +</I>><i> play some videos with recent hi-res codecs), but I think that is +</I>><i> related to my crappy hardware - actually my whole Mandriva install is +</I>><i> crumbling apart. When I have an issue with VLC, I use mplayer +</I>><i> directly.
