When I try to read a .wmv file, I get the error message: "Totem could not play 'file://tmp/F15.wmv'. You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins.' Granted that I am missing something, what is it, and where do I get it / install it? Thanks in advance -- Bob T.

Many propietary codecs (wmv, quicktime, mp3, etc) are covered under various licensing issues and are not shipped with Upstream (RHEL). This being the case they are not included in the rebuild process. There are several repositories (rpmforge, etc) that will have these packages on them.
