I haven't done a lot of investigating into this yet, so this e-mail may be a tad premature... if the solution turns out to be obvious, I apologize in advance. Yesterday, I removed ogle from my system and replaced it with Xine (using the FreshRPMs packages). Now, any AVI streams I watch are in black and white! They used to be colour... This happens in both Xine and Mplayer. Mplayer was working fine before xine, and I could *swear* I watched some clips with Xine last night and they were in colour. I checked my eyes and my monitor... it's definitely something to do with the codecs. What surprises me is that installing Xine affected Mplayer. Does anyone with deeper experience with these apps have any clue as to what's going on? -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/ascii / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
