[MPlayer-users] MPlayer/MEncoder crash on particular RealPlayerrmvb files

I suspect that the problem is really a bug in my ATI Radeon 9200 Windows 
driver.

I mentioned that other media players on my system can play the files on my 
system. I am going to try RealPlayer 9 (RP9) next, since the Real codecs 
used by MPlayer are part of RP9. If RP9 cannot play the file, then I suppose 
there is not much that the developers could do, unless they use RP10 codecs, 
instead, which they probably would have done by now if they had figured out 
how, or wanted to upgrade their RealPlayer support.

>Do you use the real codecs from the MPlayer homepage (even if you
>installed them, MPlayer might be using another version

Yes. Trying to solve the problem from a different angle, I would sometimes 
move the RP codecs out of my codecs folder, and MPlayer would complain that 
it could not load the codec, so I am sure that it is using the ones that I 
downloaded, even if there were other copies on my system, which I doubt. I 
will confirm that when I get home.

>You named it bugreport.tar.bz2. No wonder locate couldn't find it

Sorry about that.  I renamed it because I got tired of typing in the MSYS 
shell.

OK. I believe that the problem is specifc to my video card, though.

Anyway, because I was trying to do 2 things at once, some of the information 
in my posts is not correct. Also, I have been informed that I will probably 
get more help on MPlayer-cygwin. As soon as I find out how to sign up (see 
my post on that topic), I will start again on MPlayer-cygwin.

Thanks for your reply.
