Hi,
current mplayer cvs now supports vidix on windows xp/2000/nt.
To make it work you need to configure mplayer with --enable-vidix
Then download
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32-beta/dhahelper.sys
and copy it to the libdha/dhahelperwin dir.
Open msys console and change to that dir. Then type gcc -o dhasetup.exe
dhasetup.c and execute "dhasetup.exe install" as Administrator.
After that you will have to reboot.
When your done, copy the .so files from vidix/drivers to the mplayer/vidix
dir relative
to your mplayer.exe. After that you should be able to play movies with -vo
winvidix

Be carefull. It is possible that this causes blue screens, reboots, hw
damage, data corruption etc.
I don't take any responsiblity for this.

Those, who want to build even dhahelper.sys themselves will need to install
the windows driver development kit. They will hopefully know what they are
doing therefore I won't describe the build process here.
