Hi, I'm a Mac newbie and struggling to get Mplayer and associated codecs installed correctly. I think I've downloaded all the appropriate bits & pieces, but can't make sense of the error messages - any help appreciated.
I've tried putting the codecs including cook.bundle, cook.so and cook3260.dll in a variety of directories, but to no avail. Here's the response when I try to run Mplayer from the command line: many thanks in advance!
