Re: Round two mPlayer->Linux Games

Thanks for the game link.  I'll have to look into that.


I have now gotten video to work fairly well.  Here's something that
happens from time to time.  I get an error message that says:

        ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec wmvdmod.dll


I have the file though:
        [root@red brian]# locate wmvdmod.dll
        /usr/local/lib/codecs/wmvdmod.dll

Also the video wierds out sometimes.  Here's a link that weirds out
predictably.

Click on the "here" in this sentence on the previous link:

        Here is a short video of Tim, demonstrating this amazing
        illusion. The video is Windows Media version 9 - make sure you
        have the latest player. Go here if you don't.
        
My video playback weirds out on this clip toward the end where the face
transitions into the video in full screen (frame).
