7 mplayer and some other things most-often used for playback might be a
8 bit of a hard-to-categorise subject though, ie: mplayer ships with
9 mencoder, which is more editing spectrum. I'm lead to believe you can
10 do some degree of transcoding with VLC too, but I might have a memory
11 problem ( I recall reading something along those lines, but it may be
12 "future tense" )

14 incidentally, I'd be in favour of splitting mplayer and mencoder into
15 seperate dists if it were sanely plausible to do so.
