Google found this for me and now OGG/WMV/MP4/DVD/Audio CD all work
http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/entry/2663/how-to_get_full
It's a bit too much for the average user considering I was forced to
manually download the codecs and the dvdcss2 DEBs with a browser but
worth it in the end.
thanks for the helpful hints along the way. BTY the quality of the OGG
is better than the other two formats when you playback via Linux.
