OK, I've got both Xtheater and aviplay working now. I downgraded back to libc6 2.1 and compiled the latest libSDL and libsmpeg. Problems: Xtheater: The picture is black, the sound skips, I can only see something if I hit the pause button. aviplay: Better. The sound is OK, but the picture is really choppy, with occasional white (blank) frames. The sync between picture and sound is horrible. What video card are you using? I've got an ATI Xpert 98. I *think* I've got GL hardware acceleration, aka utah-glx, working with it, but how do I check? I've got a SoundBlaster ISA PnP AWE64, is this a problem? Do I need a PCI card to avoid choppy sound? -chris
