=== Multimedia Players ===
The default installation of Fedora includes '''Rhythmbox''' and
'''Totem''' for media playback. The Fedora repositories include
many other popular programs such as the '''XMMS''' player and
KDE's '''amaroK'''. Both GNOME and KDE have a selection of
players that can be used with a variety of formats. Third parties may offer additional
programs to handle other formats.
Fedora also takes full advantage of the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) sound
system. Many programs can play sound simultaneously, which was once difficult on Linux
systems. When all multimedia software is configured to use ALSA for sound support, this
limitation disappears. For more information about ALSA, visit the project website at
http://www.alsa-project.org/. Users may still experience issues when multiple users log
into the system. Depending upon hardware and software configurations, multiple users may
not be able to use the sound hardware simultaneously.

- ==== codec-buddy ====
-
- New in Fedora is the `codec-buddy`, which detects when you are trying to play a
multimedia format without the needed codecs installed. If the codec needed is not free
and open, {{{codec-buddy}}} offers options for obtaining the needed codecs.

Xiph.Org Foundation Formats ===

=== CD and DVD Authoring and Burning ===
- Fedora software repositories includes a variety of tools for easily mastering and
burning CDs and DVDs. GNOME users can burn directly from the Nautilus file manager,
choose the `gnomebaker` or `graveman` packages from Fedora Extras, or utilize the older
`xcdroast` package from Fedora. KDE users can use the robust `k3b` package for these
tasks. Console tools include {{{cdrecord}}}, {{{readcd}}}, {{{mkisofs}}} and other
popular applications.

=== Screencasts ===
- You can use Fedora to create and play back ''screencasts'', which are
recorded desktop sessions, using open technologies. Fedora Extras software repository
includes `istanbul`, which creates screencasts using the Theora video format. These
videos can be played back using one of several players included in Fedora. This is the
preferred way to submit screencasts to the Fedora Project for either developer or end-user
use. For a more comprehensive how-to, refer to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ScreenCasting.
