Actually it does so: [paul@tbird paul]$ ls -l /usr/lib/win32 total 11052 -rw-r--r-- 1 1001 1001 1228800 Mar 28 2001 3ivxdmo.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 1001 1001 61952 Apr 10 2001 acelpdec.ax -rw-r--r-- 1 1001 1001 88064 Jan 22 2001 asusasv2.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 1001 1001 35840 Sep 9 1999 asusasvd.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 1001 1001 150016 Aug 2 2000 ativcr2.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 1001 1001 69632 May 3 2001 avimszh.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 1001 1001 114688 May 3 2001 avizlib.dll and there is more there which I will spare you. Perhaps I need to upgrade the codes. I do have some WMV files that won't do it. Interesting thought, thanks for the tip!
