mplayer will not work at all for me on my computer. I have 0.5.1 r-8 and win-xp pro. Anyone have similar problems or solutions?

If it is only for playback, I would recommend using VLC 0.8.6a (current version) or MPC with ffdshow. Iianm, MPlayer hasn't updated its x264 codec in a while.

it is a option under source, and I can't seem to get it to encode sometimes without it. it just errors right away when I am trying to encode wma or mpeg2 to avi

it is also still annoying not having it work, so do you why it doesn't work?

What was the error message given? The console window, which can be turned on via "Transcode" > "Toggle Console Window", might be able to provide details on the error.

I have gotten media coder to work without it, but I would still like mplayer to work, but it always gives me the windows generated messesge, "has encountered a problem and needs to close"
