I installed mplayer, codecs from Christian Marillat's website. Following your suggestion, I removed w32codecs, mplayer-586 etc., and then installed them in the following order (one after another) - w32codecs, mplayer-586, mplayer-fonts. It did not solve the problem.On Sat, Jun 11, 2005 at 06:42:04PM -0400, kamaraju kusumanchi wrote:Usually, I can play .wmv files with mplayer. But it is not able to play certain wmv files, for reasons that I am unaware of. The image looks garbled up when I run mplayer. I have tried aviplay, xine, mplayer, kplayer and none of them work. I have already installed w32codecs. I am using Sid. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? The file is pretty big (0.5 gig) and proprietary, so I cannot host it on a public server. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Any ideas/suggestions are most welcome.Did you install the codecs in their directory BEFORE or AFTER you compiled Mplayer? It's necessary to install them before. If you didn't do that, you'll have to recompile.cheers, Robert
