interesting note about mplayer and codecs like wmv: it only builds in support for the codecs it sees at compile time. (silly, no?) so if you use mplayer and it was built w/out certain codecs around at compile time, it won't be able to support them even if you later install the codecs. this is why i always build mplayer from source =( playing media files on linux will always be a hack and a pain (even though it works really well once set up these days) until more distros do what Linspire or gentoo have done (both have done different things to the same general end) (i don't know if any of the above applies to xine, as i don't use xine much) -- Aaron J.
