Yes, tarball, as Mplayer's authors have strongly discouraged
anyone making rpm's from their source (PLF use to). The latest
(.90pre4) is at http://www.MPlayerHQ.hu/homepage/ just
remember to compile with ./configure --disable-gcc-checking
as the authors also have strong feelings about usin gcc-2.96,
mistakenly thinking that all 2.96 versions are RedHat's. Best movie
program ... imature authors.
FWIW, I've noticed that some .avi's or .mpg's I have play fine
usin the open source 'nv' driver, but fail miserably if I have the
closed source secret evil unsecureable buggy half a$$ed binary only
'nvidia' driver enabled. El cheapo Abit Gef2, but I suspect also
other cards, YMMV ;>
