MPlayer from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/ works very nicely to play all video formats, including WMF.
I want to install that, but a rather crippled version is included in SuSE 8.1's distribution, and attempting to uninstall it gives me this message about how it's a vital component to, well, pretty much anything. Is it okay to just install that on top? I don't want to screw up my install...
I've tried to recompile the MPlayer-0.90pre6-39.nosrc.rpm on SuSE 8.1 Pro from the non-existent source code and with "%define DISTRIBUTABLE 0" in the SPEC file. I did it for fun to see if it's possible. I succeeded after 2 hours of searching, compiling, ... It's possible but it's a wasting of time. An installation from the original source code is relatively fast and easy. I installed MPlayer into /usr/local/ and I keep both versions now. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
