It seems that I have my facts wrong the file extension is HDV.XviD.avi  --
Can I play this on gentoo?

This message has been sent using kmail with gentoo linux

it seems that i've been beaten by mark on the drm issue. anyway, with the right codec, ie:

- x264
- libvorbis
- libtheora
- win32codecs
- ffmpeg
- xine-lib
- kaffeine

you'll be able to play all the files that aren't drm protected. here are the use flags that i use and they work, usually. i use paludis and i've generated the package description with it. what the lines mean are:

* name of the package
   overlay from which i've picked it (first is gentoo then the other overlays)
   installed shows the version istalled
   Description:   descripts the package
   Homepage:   tells the website of the project
   Relevant use flags:  (aaaaaaaa) (-bbbbb) mean that aaaaa is enabled while bbbbb is disabled
  source repository tells what overlay have i picked the installed version
  installed time; installed using; license are aditional informations on the packages.

anyway just pick these packages, even from gentoo main repository, use my use flags, install them in the order upside, and then if the video isn't drm protected then it will work.
