The file was a quicktime .mov file they made with their own camera and is on their machine so unfortunately I cannot get a snippet of it. FWIW, I did 2 fresh Lenny installs on my friend's machine, the first one with debian-multimedia which resulted in the .mov file not playing back in mplayer, and a subsequent second Lenny install, identical to the first except without the debian-multimedia, in which the .mov file played great in mplayer. I don't know if it's a bug or not, but has anyone else had this specific problem (with .mov files in mplayer)? If so I will gladly file the bug report. I've read about several different bugs with mplayer on various forums but have not seen this one specifically. Thank you, Mark
