I'm a debian unstable user and I have to say the "-vf pp=<x>" option now no longer works with the debian Marillat mplayer packages. When I run mplayer on the command line with "-vf pp=de/fd" I get "Option vf: pp doesn't exist." In freevo itself it just dies silently, it took me a few hours to figure it out but I've had to comment out the "-vf pp=<x>" options for freevo to now play videos. I don't know if this option has never existed in the Marillat mplayer or if it's a new addition in freevo but I think it will make freevo stop working for anyone using debian unstable and mplayer with freevo. The only link on google I could find that contained the error message I get is on google groups at http://tinyurl.com/4q246 it's in polish so I have no real idea what it says. But I did try putting "spp" rather than "pp" and mplayer seems to work, although if I run it like that on my mpeg2 tv captures created by freevo from my dvb card (nova-t) then everything goes a bit funky and the video flashes a lot. I agree that putting these filters into the config file is probably a good idea. Cheers, Alex
