Hi,

Opening video decoder: [vfw] Win32/VfW video codecs Loading codec DLL: 'mvicod32.dll' MSGBOX 'Wrong OS - Please reinstall Motion Pixels' 'Motion Pixels Codec' (4112)

lol :) some anti-linux protection? or it just doesn't work on all windows versions, or maybe requires more complete emulation of win32 than we have, or maybe requires some registry entries to be present?

currently win32.c can report win95osr2 or nt:

#if 1 // leave it here for testing win9x-only codecs c->dwPlatformId=VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS; strcpy(c->szCSDVersion, " B"); #else c->dwPlatformId=VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT; // let's not make DLL assume that it can read CR* registers strcpy(c->szCSDVersion, "Service Pack 3"); #endif

maybe that codec requires some newer. try to change teh above values (loader/win32.c)

heh, i tried changing " B" to 1998 (win98) and 2222 (win98se), but i dont know if thats right then i did a make distclean ; make , but i dont know if thats right either, just a big fat NEWBIE right here still got the same error when ./mplayer file.avi if someone else wants to try, i got the mvicod32.dll file from the MovieCD� (Win NT) program file on: http://www.moviecd.com/mpdload.htm
