MPlayer rules. When I first d/l'ed it, and started playing it, I got that
"rocket scientist only" impression, but after a short while I realised it
just wasn't that bad. I've seen much, much worse under Linux.
AND the results are worth the effort required. :-)
PS Lots of people don't even roll their own but use the RPMs and they work
fine as well....can't get much easier than RPM...unless its apt-get.
