[MPlayer-users] Mandrake 8.2/PPC Weirdness

[Les Harris]

Got it to compile just fine.  Since I use PPC architecture Vidix couldn't be 
compiled, nor do I have any of the DLL's.  

When I try to play a dvd it seems everything works, but it fails to recognize 
the dvd as a valid file format.  

This is my 5 or 6th time trying various configure options and I am officially 
stymied.  Any help would be very much appreciated.
