</I>>>>><i>
</I>>>>><i> I have been running arist-gtk to encode video and almost all presets

</I>>>><i> Did you install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad ?
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Yes
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Packages like:

</I>><i> I see that these packages for example in Fedora they exist in Rpm

</I>><i> Can this be reviewed in Mageia?
</I>><i> Currently users are limited to handle video codifications and they

As mentioned in the previous email, this particular bit of software has
both license issues *and* patent issues in some countries.
It's the combination of these two things that make things awkward for us
as we have:
non-free (for software with license issues)
and
tainted (for software with patent issues).
To ship this package we would need yet another repository:
non-free+tainted
And this is the general dilemma. Too many media sources are confusing to
users. But clean separation is important for users who live in certain
jurisdictions (and also potentially for mirror servers in certain
jurisdictions who may not be able to carry tainted, but can carry non-free)
Hope that explains the issue. It would be nice to solve it, but I'm not
sure how without another media than that's a pain to support cleanly.
