I'll keep an eye on it.  Recently, I've been heading the other way
(towards Firefox).  ;->

In case it will help, I keep a list of the extensions I currently like
as part of the "Linux browsers" item on my rants page.

I'm not saying that my knowledgebase is the best compendium of Linux
knowledge around -- for one thing, it's maintained only by me, and thus
reflects my vast areas of ignorance -- but at least it's handy and in
one place.  You might find some answers in there.  http://linuxmafia.com/kb/
The thing slowly improves over time, as I touch things up, update some
items, and add to it.

Have a look at "Video Files Support" on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Apps/AV/ .
(Audio-video / multimedia is a particular area of ignorance of mine, so
I've been trying to compensate by grabbing other people's cluesin this
area and archiving them.)

cdparanoia seems to be the most popular option, though I've not done any
of this.  In particular, it is reported to be really, really good at
error-correction.

There's the stuff on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Apps/AV , plus my "DVD"
file on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Hardware

Once again, there are the various packages linked from the SANE Project.
I can never remember their URL, even though it's hyper-obvious, so I
always have to start from my "Hardware Resources" link farm on
http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Hardware/ .
