It sounds lik ea CODEC problem. As far as I know you can copy windows CODECS into the win32 directory of mplayer and it picks them up and uses them. But please do a google for the correct way to do it as I never have. This is not a fix, but this is what I would do: Use apt-get (if you don't have it, go to this page: http://www.linuxcompatible.org/thread27839-1.html Download it and install it) open a terminal, su to root, type: apt-get install xine I spent days messing about with dependencies, this does the whole lot in on gracious hit, and worked first time for me. You could also try apt-get mplayer, apt-get update mplayer Good luck......Kev :) --- Mark Sargent <powderkeg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Kevin wrote: > > >Right click in mplayer main window, choose > >preferences, then video, change from xv to x11, > click > >OK.Load a file and it should now work.
