Is this not so ? > > It doesn't play Sorenson-encoded videos, AFAIR. Update your information then :) From the mplayer.hq.hu: How To Enable QuickTime Codecs In MPlayer - 2002.11.19. A'rpi whipped up a small text which describes how to use closed-source QuickTime codecs (Sorenson, QDesign Audio, etc) in MPlayer. The process is a bit difficult, but currently the only solution. Be patient, we are working on a better implementation. It is important to emphasize the fact that although this method includes usage of the windows emulator Wine, this is NOT just like using the QuickTime Player. Wine is only used for the decoder, thus from MPlayer's viewpoint it looks just like any other codec: you can use xmga, aalib, vidix, whatever to display the movie. And, you can even encode it with for example DivX, with MEncoder. The instructions can be found in DOCS/tech/qt-libwine-howto.txt. Good luck! --- I never tested it, BTW. -- Michał Pasternak - http://pasternak.w.lub.pl - +48606570000 www.anti-dmca.org, www.debian.org/devel/debian-med "Ufamy ¶wiatu, jak p±ki kwiatów, gdy jesień jeszcze trwa..."
