All the same codecs can be plugged in. ffmpeg and mplayer use the same libavcodec library:

/home/ > mplayer -vc help | grep ffmsrle
ffmsrle     ffmpeg    working   Microsoft RLE  [msrle]

And you can even convince mplayer to take windows native codecs:

/home/ > mplayer -vc help | grep wmv8
wmv8        dshow     working   Windows Media Video 8  [wmv8ds32.ax]

Only problem is that most of the mplayer codecs that go well require MMX/SSE instructions that the SPARC does not have, x86_64 does though. Sorry I must have spent way too much time with mythtv last year... *ahem*

Will try the JMF code tomorrow, just opened a bottle of wine, no more computers for me tonight... :-)

Best,

j.

There should be a mplayer pkg and ffmpeg or something like that should do the trick if I am not wrong. Have you tried mplayer then ?

Yea, mplayer didn't have all the codec's we needed. VLC seems to be the only tool that has what we needed. I will check out ffmpeg.
