Hiya,
    I went with Brian to the PACC meeting Sunday. One of the things we 
did in the demo of Xandros was pull some video content off the Internet. 
The codec for wmv files were not yet installed and Brian pulled them 
down from some website. I was wondering what that site was and what do 
others do for playing video. I haven't really looked into this before. 
Is there a howto? Does anybody have experience with difficulty in 
playing videos? Tips, pointers, or suggestions to relevant material 
would be good. Shoot I don't even know if I am phrasing that right. Is 
it codec for wmv files or is it described differently?
