I had mplayer compiled from the tarball, but some files, .avi's in particular ran 'fast' and/or had poor picture quality. Some, not all. After getting rid of the src version and installing the Mandrake developers rpm, al my files run perfectly. As you say tho, YMMV. Generally when I can find a Mandrake rpm or src.rpm for an app I prefer to use it, rather than vanilla tarballs. It indicates, at least to me, that it (the src) has had the attention of the Mandrake developers, and installs to LSB standard locations that Mandrakes uses. IOW's I only use vanilla src as a last resort ;) -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay, USA
