wmv9 and a slashdotted site?
One's a sick duck... I can't remember how it ends but your (you slashdotters) mother's a whore.
To watch porn, duh.
It's people like DVD Jon who make me feel like a total sham everytime someone calls me a "computer genius". What's he got for us next?
CAn'T CompreHend SARcaSm?
Flanders: It's like I'm wearing nothing at all... nothing at all... nothing at all...
Heh, DVD Jon uses gnome and fedora! Noob! ... no wait...
Take me to your source.... :)
So I can make tee-shirts out of it....
Then make a song, poem and even a music video from the same code...

Voice of Director: Christopher Walken, Han Solo screen test. Okay, Chris, whenever you're ready.
Christopher Walken: "I'm Captain of.. the Millenium.. Falcon. Chewie here.. tells me.. you're looking for passage.. to the.. alderaan system."
Voice of Director: "Yes, indeed, It's a fast ship."
Christopher Walken: "Fast.. ship? You've never heard.. of the.. millenium falcon? It's the ship.. that made the kessel run.. in less than.. 12 parsecs. She's.. fast enough.. for you.. old man.." That sucked! I'm sorry.. [ turns and walks away ] You know.. I had it..

192 kilobit mp3, and compare it to an about 160 kilobyte variable rate ogg

"The critical question is: why? There's no legitimate reason to want WMV."
You're right. Linux is so much better off with fewer capabilities.

Is there a tool like EnCSS somewhere out there, for making watching your own videos a pain in the ass or what?
