My etc/codecs.conf contains: videocodec ffmpeg2 info "FFmpeg MPEG 2" status working format 0x10000002 ; mpeg 2 fourcc mpg2 driver ffmpeg dll "mpeg2video" out YV12,I420,IYUV Howabout yours? (That's etc in the source directories of course in my case.) If yours is missing maybe it's time to upgrade. Or, reading DOCS/en/codecs.html as suggested above, in the section on FFmpeg/libavcodec: "If you use an MPlayer release you have libavcodec right in the package, just build as usual. If you use MPlayer from CVS you have to extract libavcodec from the FFmpeg CVS tree as FFmpeg releases are very rare.

But if you can work around it then it isn't going to be your problem. Why beat your head against something you've already found to be a wall. OTOH, if you can't find a workaround then you need to be very careful to jump through all the hoops when you report the problem, including running the latest CVS code, no matter how stupid the hoops are. It took me 20 years to learn to welcome bug reports. Most programmers would prefer to dismiss them. (Although generally less so in the open source world.) -- Richard Urwin
