I use mplayer too, but (as far as I know) the list of supported codecs hasn't changed in several years. That's mostly not a problem, but there are certain file types (.wmvs I have been told are handled correctly by Windows Media Player 10/11; this may be a DRM thing) that completely do not play. > If you want a fancy GUI, search in ports/multimedia for mplayer > and you will find kde-mplayer, gnome-mplayer and friends. Mplayer has a gui (gmplayer) but it's pretty minimal. Robert Huff
