I'm just fiddling around with MPlayer. I've installed libdvdcss (I don't know hwether that was required or not) from the skyblade site, and DVDs play back fine, but with no sound - it says at the beginning that it can't find a codec. Is there something else I need to do, or another bit I need to download from somewhere?
I had the same problem, audio codec A52 or something. After a bit of googling, I downloaded a library called liba52 (or whatever it was) and installed, but it seems you need to recompile Mplayer with some flag or other to enable it.
How peculiar. Hardly an out-of-box experience, then. Now that you mention it, I do recall Thibaut saying something similar, and noting that he had recompiled his own rpms. I think I'll try xine, which worked OK for me before. Thanks Kevin
