FC3 and video...

I just upgraded from FC2 to FC3. Bad idea. I've had endless problems
with getting the ieee1394 and related modules to work, and also I am no
longer able to play DVDs through Xine.

I am seriously thinking of downgrading back to FC2.

I think part of the problem is that much of the code is not completely
reworked for FC2 (I pull most stuff from freshrpms and livna through
yum.)

So, am I going crazy? Is there anyone else who have the 1394 modules and
DVD playing working on FC3? Or perhaps I should consider a fresh install
vs. an upgrade?

All suggestions are highly welcome.

I think I'll reorganize my workstation so I can have 2 -- or more --
seperate distros/releases installed. Should've done that long ago. My
bad.
