I meant more `mplayer eastbourne2007small.wmv' assuming you'd downloaded the file but it doesn't matter. :-) > Opening video decoder: [dmo] DMO video codecs > DMO dll supports VO Optimizations 0 1 > DMO dll might use previous sample when requested > Decoder supports the following formats: YV12 YUY2 UYVY YVYU RGB8 RGB555 > RGB565 RGB24 RGB32 > Decoder is capable of YUV output (flags 0x1b) > Movie-Aspect is undefined - no prescaling applied. > VO: [x11] 800x600 => 800x600 Planar YV12 > [swscaler @ 0xa97cc50] using unscaled yuv420p -> bgra special converter > Selected video codec: [wmvadmo] vfm: dmo (Windows Media Video Adv DMO) > ========================================================================== > ========================================================================== > Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders > AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 105.3 kbit/7.46% (ratio: 13159->176400) > Selected audio codec: [ffwmav2] afm: ffmpeg (DivX audio v2 (FFmpeg)) This looks identical to my output in all salient details so I'm out of ideas; sorry.
