Hi there,
osnews.com has a news article on a presentation of the next Novell Linux Desktop with some videos which present the new features of the GNOME desktop used in NLD (http://www.linuxedge.org/?q=node/55). GREAT DEMO: When trying to view video I with GNOME of 10.0 (using the defaulöt application, totem), I get (German L18n) "Totem konnte file:///tmp/NLD_SL_conf_1.avi<< nicht wiedergeben. There were no decoders found to handle the stream, you might need to install the corresponding plugins."
Great isn't it: For legal reasons, Novell/SuSE doesn't ship an reasonable audio/video decoders, but still publishes videos with proprietary formats like AVI that Novell/SuSE's own distributions are unable to present. Ulrich, could you please try to avoid spreading bogus stuff -- those videos were in no way "published by Novell". It's pretty obvious that some on in the audience captured that videos.
OK, but why did you advertise the link here if Novell has nothing to do with it?
I thought that it would be of interest for the openSUSE community to get some visuals of what will be possible with future versions of GNOME/X/Xgl. It wasn't meant to be an advertising of future Novell Linux versions nor am I affiliated with Novell/Suse. If you have problems with playback of proprietary (Windows) video formats you should have a look at http://packman.links2linux.org where you can get everything you need for playback of such files.
