I installed the MPlayer deb packages found at http://www.mplayer.fr.st/ and at http://marillat.free.fr/, along with the ffmpeg codecs and a bunch of other things. All seem to work very well and the ffmpeg codecs are really efficient, fast and give a smooth reproduction even on my laptop. The only problem I have is with a divx file with 22050Hz mono audio that is not reproduced correctly, but I suspect it is a problem with my audio drivers.
Many thanks to all of you folks! Alberto PS: anyway, sorry for the OT on this list. I sent the request to this list by accident. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
