Did this EVER work for you Brouerius?

The reason I ask, is because SUSE delivers intentionally broken multimedia packages, and unless you add the packman repository to your list of repositories and do an update, you are likely banging your head against the wall. It worked until last month (last time I used it). Since then I have got my regular updates via smart. The only big change I can think of is changing my monitor specs from vesa to Likom L703x. Up to then I had monitor problems due to overheating of the monitor if I used the specs from the setup (Likom) Using vesa 800x600 was the answer. I am now using the monitor in the same resolution but with sax2 I have made it possible to use higher resolutions. Using vesa would be a setback but possible.Have to find out if that changes anything.

Do not know why but suddenly I cannot view any DVD video (and VCD video's). I have tried out all videoplayers from the KDE menu but to no avail. I also ran the commands in konsole and all programs showed a message with following content (as example the output from xine). Before I am going to try understand this kind of technical language I hope there is somebody with enough understanding of the mattery to help me on my way.

This very much sounds like your driver doesn't allow XVideo surfaces in that resolution any more. Maybe you had the binary NVidia drivers installed? Then an update of xorg-x11-drivers-video or the kernel might reinstall the open source driver, which might not support XVideo for your card well enough. If it's radeon or intel, maybe it's a new driver bug :-/ Or a misinstallation (mismatching versions of some packages). You can always circumvene this by using the xshm output plugin (xine -V xshm) - though that will be slower, and scaled images don't look as good at all.

1st) This error message does not state that this is due to missing codec support 2nd) Please don't call it broken. You may call it stripped, or even crippled (even we call it that way), because of this legalese stupidity.
