Stupid question: Why can't you use all the wonderful code in MPlayer? Or better yet why can't all MPlayer, XINE, gstreamer, mp1e, etc, etc.. people get together to design a central multimedia core and have the individual applications only be frontends to the central library. (I can think of many reasons, but I want to know what the real reasons are). There is also a very fine video editor in hiding known as Broadcast 2000, and Cinelerra. Someone should force the guys behind it to stop playing games and come out of hiding. Heroine Virtual/Warrior is NOT a cooperation.
