Ah yes. I was just looking at use.desc and saw mmx. When I did I |
| 22 |
knew what I had done wrong. I read through it carefully and enabled |
| 23 |
all the flags which seemed to apply to MPlayer and now it works like a |
| 24 |
dream. I think perhaps a shade or two better than it had. The only |
| 25 |
strangeness is that it uses libdvdread and shows the output of |
| 26 |
libdvdcss whereas my previous installs used the internal mplayer dvd |
| 27 |
facilities. Doesn't appear to affect the outcome any though, which is |
| 28 |
fine by me. |

What is interesting is that I was apparently overcomplicating things a |
| 31 |
bit. I just knew that there had to be some esoteric way to do these |
| 32 |
things but in fact it was much more intuitive and simple than I |
| 33 |
thought. Many thanks to all for the help. |
