Point me toward a samples archive and I'll post a file. The file plays audio in mplayer. There is no video which is consistent with what I see here. Granted, this is 64-bit and I don't have win32codecs installed which is what plays it on the 32-bit VM. - Mark mark@c2stable ~/Builder/1_BrooksPriceAction/2012_04 $ mplayer -identify BTR20120330-3544edit.wmv MPlayer SVN-r33094-4.5.3 (C) 2000-2011 MPlayer Team Playing BTR20120330-3544edit.wmv.
