mplayer plays every damn format out there. :) It works quite well on OpenBSD though there are rough edges. Try some advanced option of mencoder and boom... Anyway I better shut up or send patches. As to win32codecs working on amd64 if you can run them under a chroot jail and try 32 bit emulation it might work. Hey I am talking thro' my hat and you know what that means. But I have played several video formats(avi, wmv...) without the closed source win32codecs package. I wonder why people look any further when there is something as sexy as mplayer... regards, Girish
