Hi, I'm that kind of casual user that finds a good or useful program and starts to use it if it compiles without THAT much hassle. MPlayer is that kind of program. I'd like to thank you guys that have made this program what is it today. After that butt-kissing I'll just let you know that using libdvdread managed to break my mplayer-0.60. Since I'm using the infamous egcs-2.91.66 I won't call it a bug but a somewhat troubling ... feature. ;P~ The packages I've installed is the mplayer-0.60 source with the massaged win32-DLLs from the site, libdvdcss and libdvdread from Ogle and the default skin. libdvdcss-0.0.3 and libdvdread-0.9.2 are used. Everything is compiled with egcs-2.91.66. If I explicitly say "--disable-dvdread" everything works fine BUT if libdvdread is used, an AVI-file that worked perfectly before generates the following error: [joorin@n155 joorin]$ mplayer anim/0201.avi MPlayer 0.60-egcs-2.91.66 (C) 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS!)

My guess is that somewhere in the linking or the loading of the DLLs something goes wrong. The big difference between a working program and this one is:

Loading DLL: 'ir50_32.dll' External func OLEAUT32.dll:161 External func OLEAUT32.dll:163

I've tried to compile both with and without GUI but the problem doesn't go away until I explicitly supply "--disable-dvdread". My suggestion would be to make "dvdread" "no" per default in the configure script to save someone else the same problem. Keep up the good work! /Peter
