How to get win32 quicktime audio/video codec plugins support work?
==================================================================
1. Get the latest wine source. Some leech urls:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/wine/development/Wine-20021031.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.infomagic.com/pub/mirrors/linux/sunsite/ALPHA/wine/development/Wine-20021031.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/linux/mirrors/sunsite.unc.edu/ALPHA/wine/development/Wine-20021031.tar.gz
ftp://orcus.progsoc.uts.edu.au/pub/Wine/development/Wine-20021031.tar.gz
Compile and install it:
./configure
make
make install
2. Get mplayer CVS (RTFM...), and compile this way:
./configure --disable-win32 --enable-qtx-codecs
(the --disable-win32 is VERY important!!!)
make mplayer.exe.so
3. Get the quicktime DLLs & wine config pack:
[ftp|http]://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/qt-dotwine.tar.bz2
If you already have ~/.wine, backup it:
mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.orig
Extract the tarball in your home dir:
cd
tar -xjf qt-dotwine.tar.bz2
4. Launch mplayer with wine:
wine z:/path/to/mplayer/main/mplayer.exe.so -- file.mov [options]
You can also create a wrapper script to emulate 'old' mplayer behaviour:
Create a file called 'mplayer' with content:
wine z:/path/to/mplayer/main/mplayer.exe.so -- $*
then: chmod +x mplayer
NOTES:
Note 1: when first time starting wine, it will create a FONT database, it
may take a while... don't worry, it won't be rebuild next time!
Note 2: wine/quicktime DLLs fork several processes/threads, they
somehow don't die at exit and keep eating your memory in the background,
so it's recommended to 'killall wine' after running mplayer this way...
Note 3: yes we all know this is messy hack, and we're working on a
cleaner solution, using the minimalist loader included in mplayer
instead of all the bloat coming with libwine.
Note 4: due to --disable-win32, you cannot use vfw/acm/dshow and quicktime
DLLs at the same time.
