</I>><i>
</I>><i> In Gnome, the official video player is totem, and the official
</I>><i> backend is gstreamer. So both things should be installed by default
</I>><i> and with all the codecs needed. if someone says 'I want support for
</I>><i> XViD in the default Gnome install', well, you should install the needed
</I>><i> gstreamer module. So everything should be supported by the standard
</I>><i> official player.
</I>
In the case of gstreamer, there is packagekit and on demand installation
of codecs.
><i> After that, you can install other players, better if they fit the
</I>><i> desktop. For example, after totem I would vote for gnome-mplayer,
</I>><i> the Gnome front end for mplayer. And after that, other 'foreign'
</I>><i> players like VLC or the like.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> So what would I put in distrib ISO ? totem and main bunch of
</I>><i> gstreamer codecs, that carries no dicussion, and if there is still
</I>><i> space, gnome-mplayer and mplayer.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I suppose the same can be thought for KDE. Install whatever the
</I>><i> default phonon-based player is, and if there is space, others.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I think nowadays the default official players are capable of playing
</I>><i> the main formats everybody will use (XVid, DiVX, h264, mpeg, mp3 or
</I>><i> ac3 audio, etc...).
</I>
Well, yes, that's also our duty to others free software project to offer
a cohesive and integrated system respecting their choice.
