Sorry, that was an older version (0.90-rc5). I downloaded the 1.0pre1 version from the MPlayer home page, there's a debian/ directory in the archive, and a 'dpkg-buildpackage' does the rest. The resulting debian package is named mplayer_0.90cvs_sparc.deb, though. > > How can I say if mplayer was compiled with mlib support?

I'm downloading the libmlib packages, I'll test them later. Thanks. BTW, without mlib, I can get a pretty good video experience on my 300 MHz Ultra2, but I have to allow the player to drop frames to get audio/video sync. When I'm only watching the video and nothing else runs, I sometimes can notice that frames were dropped; the margin is very low, I can't even run a simple 'top' in a console, or I loose too much frames. The film was accessed by NFS, over a 10 MBps link (yes, between my workstation and my fileserver, there's a 10 MBps hub somewhere, I have to find a cheap and small 100 MBps one). -- Erwann ABALEA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - RSA PGP Key ID: 0x2D0EABD5 ----- Le netétiquette n'est qu'une vaste fumisterie,il faut de l'argent pour fonctionner,à force,en France de refuser tout rapport sain avec l'argent,l'on riqsque de tuer ce nouvel outil. -+- AA in: Guide du Neuneu d'Usenet - Le netétiquette du riche -+-
