I'm curious why you suggest to install the windows-essential archive rather than the Linux one? Have you noticed any difference in behaviour? The website says that one should pick the package meant for your CPU and OS. I can see a few differences in the archive contents, ones that each other doesn't have: Linux has drvc.so dspr.so.6.0 sipr.so.6.0 tokf.s.6.0 tokr.so.6.0 vid_3ivX.xa Windows has drv33260.dll drv43260.dll pncrt.dll sipr3260.dll tokr3260.dll vmnc.dll I never did manage to get Linux to properly play a real media file that I tried, a while ago, no matter what I did. It would play sound, but not the picture. I eventually got mplayer installed on Windows Vista to play it, though.
