	Selected video codec: [ffdv] vfm:ffmpeg (FFmpeg DV decoder)

	So I was using ffdv (that is what I intended) after all.  Good -
	the intent was to use the same thing on all the systems.

	Correct.  I built everthing used in the tests from fresh cvs
	update'd versions.   Suse 8.2 has an old version of mplayer but
	I made absolutely certain that it was not present in the system
	(and for Suse 9.0 I hear that mplayer is no longer included so I
	do not have to worry about installing an old version).
