[MPlayer-users] Realmedia support?

["uber at stunix.com" at mplayerhq.hu]

Many many thanks for those words of help and wisdom, however in the last 2 
years, I too have grown to love Linux, and use a combination of XMMS, lame 
and Grip to rip and listen to cds, and I am slowly working my way thru 
re-encoding the .rmj files on a spare box which has never seen the internet, 
therefore can never inform Real of its existance! (a slow task being as it 
crashes after encoding 5 tracks) anyway, I am looking at GNU software for 
streaming video for future use, which is where Mplayer, Mencoder come in.  
However, I still havn't got my head around all the configuration and encoding 
options, There does seem to be a lack of documentation clear enough to be 
read and understood my me, so I watch these mails.

what would really be nice is a post containing links to all codecs, and the 
clear commandline to compile the beast, then examples of re-encoding video 
formats and dvd ripping.

thanks again for the advice thou.
