It has C<>language DivX ;-) and OpenDivX alpha 47 codec. Some benchmarks

showed that its DivX seems to be even faster than DirectShow codec without

Check 'ldd /usr/local/bin/mplayer' output. If it contains<BR>
|
||
<CODE>libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4???????)</CODE><BR>
|
||
where "?" is any number then it's ok, the error is not here. If it is:<BR>
|
||
<CODE>libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00??????)</CODE><BR>
|
||
then there is problem with your kernel/libc. Maybe you are using some
|
||
security patches (for example Solar Designer's OpenWall patch) which
|
||
forces loading libraries to very low addresses.
|
||
Because l3codeca.acm is a non-relocatable DLL, it must be loaded to
|
||
0x00400000, we can't change this. You should use non-patched kernel,
|
||
or use <B>MPlayer</B>'s -afm 1 option to disable using l3codeca.acm.

The KDE arts sound daemon is blocking the sound device, either wait the time

until video starts or you disable the arts-daemon in kontrollcenter.

If you want to use arts sound, specify audio output via SDL (ao=sdl), and

make sure your SDL can handle arts sound. Yet another option is to start

mplayer with artsdsp.

It works only if running as root! It's a DGA limitation.
|

You should become to root (su -), and try again.

Another solution is making mplayer SUID root, but its NOT RECOMMENDED!<BR>

<CODE>chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer</CODE><BR>

Since 0.18pre4 we support libavcodec from the ffmpeg package. It contains
|
||
a C language DivX and OpenDivX decoder. The DivX decoder uses YV12 format
|
||
for output, thus it should work for you. Compile in libavcodec support.

Your opengl driver doesn't support dynamic texture changes (glTexSubImage)

it will not work with 3DFX cards because the 256x256 texture size limit.

Is there a hint on how to watch QuickTime and RealMedia movies in MPlayer?

There's no way to do it. Therefore these formats deserve to die in flames.
|
||
Theoretically you can reverse engineer Real codecs built for Linux (they
|
||
are available as .so files), but in practice that's really difficult, even
|
||
if you know how the compiler used by Real is making assembler code.
|
||
As for QuickTime, it's possible to play some old movies and this
|
||
capability will be added to mplayer soon, but newer clips are all Sorenson
|
||
encoded, and that codec is built-in deep in the QT executable, there's
|
||
no way to use it.
