I tried some other movies, with the same results. Basically, I > get the sound along with a blue video. [...] The mpeg4, which mplayer identified as a QuickTime movie, played the video aspect of it just fine, but failed to play any sound. The mpeg1, mplayer identified as the following: MPEG-PS file format detected. VIDEO: MPEG1 352x240 (aspect 12) 29.970 fps 1150.0 kbps (143.8 kbyte/s) This played just fine, both sound and video, and I stopped there. Did you install mplayer from ports? If you're on i386, did the port also install the win32 codecs? Not sure if the latter makes any difference though. Otherwise, I'm not sure what to suggest. - John.
