Yes, I upped it to 900 and was still able to fit it onto a single CD. Video was much improved. > I'm not familiar with this "Ronion Warriors", or just how long the movie > is.

I copied it into a text file for future reference. (hope you don't mind?). One thing. I have never changed my gcc version. Its the stock 2.96 that comes with Mandrake 8.2 - but I've not experienced any problems yet that I know of. I compiled MPlayer with this: ./configure --disable-gcc-checking --enable-gui--with-win32libdir=/usr/lib/win32 (one line, of course) and added all the files (dependencies) that Mencoder needed from the RPMs at the Penguin Lib.
