[Mplayer-advusers] Here is the solution to the Sunplus SP54 codec problem...

[Spatch Rabbit]

I have attached a zip file that has the dll driver for
this codec and instrucitons of how to install it.  If
you don't trust my dll, you can manually reconstruct
the steps it took me to extract it:

1)  Go to this website:
http://www.mustek.com/download/driv_ibd/english/gsmartmini2.html
2)  Click on the Windows 98/ME/2000 driver last
updated on 09-09-02 and download the following files:
ftp://128.121.112.104/pub/Mini2/98-2k/web.EXE
ftp://128.121.112.104/pub/Mini2/98-2k/web.W02
3)  Install the web.exe camera driver to your
computer.
4)  Don't reboot.
5)  The Sp5x_32.dll file will already be in your
C:\windows\system directory.
6)  Add the following line to the [drivers32] section
of the system.ini file:
vidc.SP54=Sp5x_32.dll


This idiotic codec isn't worth all of this effort, but
at least I can now get my SP54 encoded AVI's to now
run in Windows.  Next up try to find drivers for this
codec for the MAC and Linux... <sigh>
