[News] Real to Enable Proprietary Windows Codecs to Work in Linux!

Real to plug Windows media support into Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Currently, Linux users can play Windows Media Video (WMV) and Windows
| Media Audio (WMA) content if they install closed-source modules, said
| Jeff Duchmann, general manager of client and digital rights management
| technologies at RealNetworks. That will change as the result of a
| licensing deal RealNetworks has signed with Microsoft and its settlement
| of an antitrust suit against the software giant. It will release
| open-source code to play the files as part of the Helix Community project
| it launched to bring RealNetworks technology to Linux.
