The only problem is that you have to get the proper codecs. If you're using Christian Marillat's mplayer packages, all you need is an 'apt-get install w32codecs'. Otherwise, look around the download section on www.mplayerhq.hu and look for the codec packages. Download and install in wherever it tells you to and you should be all set. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
