As to win32 codes, it is just a binary blob you have to unpack to a standard location. I have it unpacked under /usr/lib/win32 in my box. The instructions are clearly given in the mplayer website and the associated html documentation. Sorry, I am not able to get that out of the top of my head since it is a whie since I did that. The advantage is that you have latest and most optimised mplayer for your platform. You may prefer the ports install strategy if you are a puritan... HTH, Girish
