hey everyone, name of the file is http://koti.mbnet.fi/rzei/AvP2_Primal_hunt_trailer.avi (12MB). It's an old Cinepak codec trailer I picked up somewhere. I find that colors in this movie are screwed up, in the picture black seems to have been replaced with green. This ain't a huge problem as mplayer's native cinepak is able to decode the video in a way that xvidix (or radeon?) is able to display it correctly. xv driver displays it correctly with both codecs. My xfree86 is late January fetched cvs with ati driver and my card is Hercules 3D Prophet 9000 PRO 128MB or something like that. Still, this vfw codec is used by default for some odd reason and is even included in win32codecs-lite package. mplayer is latest rc3. One thing more, OSD doesn't seem to appear with vfw codec and xvidix driver, with vfw and xv it does. It also is enabled with native decoder and xvidix driver. -rzei # mplayer AvP2_Primal_hunt_trailer.avi -vo xvidix Using GNU internationalization Original domain: messages Original dirname: /usr/share/locale Current domain: mplayer Current dirname: /usr/local/share/locale MPlayer 0.90rc3-3.2.1 (C) 2000-2003 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS) CPU: Advanced Micro Devices (Family: 6, Stepping: 0) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE Reading config file /usr/local/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf Reading config file /root/.mplayer/config Reading /root/.mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open '/root/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Reading /usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: 49 audio & 130 video codecs font: can't open file: /root/.mplayer/font/font.desc Font /usr/local/share/mplayer/font/font.desc loaded successfully!
