No problem, just glad to help (at the cost of too many e-mails LOL).

I'm really impressed with their player, although it does not support 
divx.subtitle files. I still choose mplayer as it's file support is huge, 
and it's stable. There is a huge amount of documentation on their site, 
and included in their tarballs. I do have RPM's self made for my mandrake, 
but it would be so much harder for you to install those as half of my 
system if running later versions of so many progams. I suggest to give it a 
shot.

If you *only* need to play divX files, then maybe stick with divxplayer at 
it saves you a lot of effort for Mplayer, however if you have other formats 
you need to play (the list is too much to mention), go for mplayer.
