Re: [gentoo-user] playing the "Go Open Source" movies

[Ryan Viljoen]

You are all going to hate me for this but I had no luck in Linux, you
need to get the AAC codec working which I wasnt successfull at doing.
If you have access to a windows machine than download VLC media
player, its the only player that I found to work. The linux version of
VLC requires you to emerge AAC to play them but as I said didnt have
much luck there.
