Uhhhh -hhhhh-uh-uhu-uh

Cool... My PC rocks at the mo! TV out, whizzy 3D, usb2, firewire, etc. all 
detected by mdk9!

xine, ogle, mplayer, freetype from Penguin Liberation Front is all good! 
mplayer now has mencoder - haven't played with it yet, but looks like a nifty 
command-line flask type thing for dvd, avi, quicktime, divx, etc. Apparently 
can now use windows quicktime .dlls???

Uhhhh-uh-uh

Bought some blue LEDs for this (free) big bastard case I've got... uhhhh-uh-uh
