If you run mplayer <file> it will try to autodetect what to do. Or you can look at the kmpayer config and find the corresponding options in mplayer's man page and use those to see if it makes a difference. Beware the mplayer man page - it's huge, complex and a horrendous read. That's unavoidable - happens with any complex software that covers 100s of possible combinations. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
