I noticed the codecs.conf file says WMV 8 works fine. I'm having a problem that doesn't seem to have come up yet. Trying to play WMV 8 files just gives me (initially) a green screen with blocky effects over it. Below is part of the output and if anyone would like to try to play the file it can be accessed at http://karr.ath.cx/phill/ Detected audio codec: [divx] drv:4 (DivX audio (WMA)) fs seg 0x40017000 Loading DLL: 'divxa32.acm' AUDIO: srate=44100 chans=2 bps=2 sfmt=0x10 ratio: 8005->176400 Detected video codec: [wmv8] drv:4 prio:0 (Windows Media Video 8) Selecting Video Decoder: [dshow] DirectShow video codecs Loading DLL: 'wmv8ds32.ax' Using DirectShow codec: wmv8ds32.ax Decoder is capable of YUV output ( flags 0x9) VDec: vo config request - 320 x 240, Packed YUY2 P h i l l
