just realised, it's not all fine<BR>
several things uninstalled themselves when i moved my pc back to my internetless room - nvidia driver, totem-gstreamer and several of it's plugins, and a few other things <IMG SRC="cid:1226161053.3407.5.camel@localhost" ALIGN="bottom" ALT=":(" BORDER="0"> Which is all well annoying...<BR>
so _some_ videos play, but others complain of a missing codec, and some still play in the wrong colour in certain programs, or change colour after being converted <IMG SRC="cid:1226161106.3407.7.camel@localhost" ALIGN="middle" ALT=":O" BORDER="0"><BR>
