In openSuSE for A/V codecs you need to add two extra repositories (packman & videolan [vlc]), is there an equivalent (mod or set) for Arch or do we just build from vlc?

# pacman -S codecs

None of the A/V apps in Arch (at least in extra repo) use the codecs so installing the codecs package might have no effect. Most popular video formats are handled well by ffmpeg. I would suggest to post back if you have problems playing a specific video format.

Thanks Eric and Christos, I post back after I have kde installed and give it a go. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. Rankin Law Firm, PLLC 510 Ochiltree Street Nacogdoches, Texas 75961 Telephone: (936) 715-9333 Facsimile: (936) 715-9339 www.rankinlawfirm.com
