Hello I am trying to play a dv from my cell phone and I get a "Invalid Ptr handle!" error from the codecs I just downloaded from the mplayer site. I searched the list archives for a solution, I only saw a few reports of a problem, but no answers. Any ideas as to a solution? ====================== $ mplayer 0331082018.3g2 MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) Processor (Family: 6, Model: 2, Stepping: 1) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0 Compiled with runtime CPU detection. mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support.
