Re: Playing a movie on ppc.
download source from mplayerhq.hu, compiling is explained in the docs, and is very easy. And no, there is no such official debian package. mplayer as in www.mplayerhq.hu has liscense compability issues with debian. atleast that is what used to be the issue. Maby not anymore, dunno. But as it seems, it does not work... as I started with, download the official sources btw rc3 also had some critical issues as I vagely remember.
