I realise I wasn't to clear on my problem. mplayer complains there is a missing codecs.conf file - thus MPlayer CVS-011215-05:00-2.95.4 (C) 2000-2001 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS!) CPU vendor name: AuthenticAMD max cpuid level: 1 CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon TB Thunderbird (Type: 6, Stepping: 2) extended cpuid-level: 6 CPUflags: Type: 6 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0 Reading /home/alan/.mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open '/home/alan/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Reading /usr/local/share/mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open '/usr/local/share/mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory (copy/ln etc/codecs.conf (from MPlayer source tree) to ~/.mplayer/codecs.conf) Terminated HOWEVER - I fixed that problem (now I have another) by finding the file in the source tree like it says. Now it just complains it can't read the headers thus [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev$ mplayer -vcd 2 /dev/dvd MPlayer CVS-011215-05:00-2.95.4 (C) 2000-2001 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS!)
