[MPlayer-users] My responces to comments on my newbie-oriented MPlayer article

[Farrell Farahbod]

I decided to start a new thread for this, since many good and iffy points 
were made, by many different people.

first off -- THANK YOU ALL! I really really appreciate it.

All right, below are most of the comments, and my decision about them...most 
are of the "Good idea, THANKS" variety. :)

1. Add RPM installation instructions.

Well, i'm not too sure about this. What what i often hear in #linuxhelp 
(openprojects irc) they seem to be fairly unstable. also, i think mplayer is 
a great opportunity to make newbies learn how to compile, and the fact that 
mplayer is one of the more involved compiles, i think it's a great way for 
them to learn a lot! mplayer was my first compile, and i learned soo, soo, 
soo much by doing so...

HOWEVER, i do plan to do a version of my article for RPMs, and a version on 
CVS. However these may not come out for a month...or maybe sooner if time 
permits.

2. Write a little bit on the codecs.conf file.
