I'll try to do this. Can you hive me some tips for how to start doing
this and the nudge in the right direction. I know about mozilla
bugzilla but if there are some tips and suggestions please share them
here.

I'm not aware of other open vendors, can you point me in the right dirrection?
I'm only aware of livna codecs with which swf-dec works but are
illegal for fedora to use.

becomes a test as was the test with codeina, and we work on swf-dec
and work better, much better, for F10 or F11.

Valent.
