Hi: I found this in the file /usr/share/doc/packages/MPlayer/README.SuSE: -------------------------------------------------------------------- To be able to decode/encode certain codecs, MPlayer requires Windows DLLs installed in the directory /usr/lib/win32 You can copy these files from your existing Windows installation. We have provided a script doing that for you. Simply run findw32codecs <directory name> and it will search the given directory (or /windows/* if none is given) for suitable codecs. For legal reasons this version of MPlayer has limited functionality. Here is a list of what has been disabled: MPEG-4 codecs (using a Win32 codec DLL should work) Sorenson video codec AC3 decoding ASF parsing mencoder (it depends on native encoders most of which would have to be disabled) Advanced users can build an RPM package containing the full functionality by changing the line %define DISTRIBUTABLE 1 to %define DISTRIBUTABLE 0 in the spec file of the source RPM. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Where on earth is the source RPM? I looked on disk 7, and it has an MPlayer package in the "nosrc" directory, not the "src" dir. Is it possible to find the source rpms with Yast? I'd like to build the new RPM with all functionality enabled, and install it as an upgrade over my existing MPlayer that Suse installed. Is this the right approach? Thanks. -- _____________________ Christopher R. Carlen crobc@earthlink.net Suse 8.1 Linux 2.4.19
