This is all completely unneccessary. I have in the past tried various downloadable builds, with various degrees of success. But in the end I always found it best to download the source and compile it myself. Here's how: You need to download 1) the MPlayer-0.9 tar.gz from http://www.mplayerhq.hu 2) the codecs they have available on the site. The win32 codecs are the most important, but the rest add nice things like quicktime ect. First unpack all the codecs to /usr/lib/win32/ Then, compile so: ./configure --prefix=/usr --manpath=/usr/share/man --enable-gui make make install (or do checkinstall, so you'll have a clean rpm install) This is really all there is to it. And it's especially good if you have a older/slower system, as the code is optimised for your architecture. On my old 500mhz Celeron this meant the difference between being able to watch DVDs or not. As a bonus kmplayer will still work. Hans
