Well, are folks interested in mpegtv?? http://www.mpegtv.com As far as I know mpegtv is the best mpeg player available for FreeBSD . I have used the linux version which so far has been okay to use however if we want the capability to use the mpeg plugin then I think is best to have a native port to use with the native port of netscape. The latest version also has an mpegtv plug-in for unix if you ask me thats a very cool feature. As for the port , I wouldn't worry too much about it because I can help out Tristan by way of answering questions or help him trouble shoot the bugs. Tnks, Amancio >From The Desk Of "Jordan K.
