14 FWIW, xine seems to be playing some wmv here, not others. I know divx
15 plays and suspect the *.wmv files that play are actually divx codec.
16 That's 64-bit xinelib, no mplayer (since xinelib has always "just worked"
17 in far more cases than mplayer, here), and no proprietaryware codecs such
18 as win32codecs. ffmpeg is the 20060530 edition.
