You are mostly SOL with that one. Here's some options, all involve lots of work: Run 32bit mplayer with win32codecs in a 32bit chroot Run a prebuilt 32bit mplayer than you download from any suitable repo Run a 32bit smplayer WINDOWS build in wine Run some Windows player in a virtual machine Dual boot My personal favourite is to just simply realize that I don't actually HAVE to watch the clip. No piece of video is THAT important (unlike say, oxygen). -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
