;) It's funny, though... As soon as I had nice smooth playback, the next thing I did was install xine-ui-aa and libxine1-aa ...in essence; Got nice high-quality screen output, went "wow that's nice", and immediately proceeded to install something that 'degrades' the picture to ascii characters... ;D It's amazing... ;D Incidentally, does anyone know where the ascii-art output goes, when you use aaxine from the conesole?
