wmv - mss2

Hi

I have some wmv files that I would like to watch but neither xine or mplayer wants to play them. Xine tells me that it isn't able to play mss2 files. Does anyone know how to solve this?
I have the win32 codecs installed.
The videos are some homemade pokervideos from pokertips.org

For example I can't play this one:

Re: wmv - mss2

it's working fine here. i have mplayer-1.0pre7-6 and codecs-20050412-2 installed via pacman.

perhaps your download was corrupted somehow?

Re: wmv - mss2

Thats strange - I have those packages in the same versions but I still cant play the file. I've downloaded that file and others several times without being able to play them. What could it be?

This is my mplayer output when trying to play the file

  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your

  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

I see some strange things in there but I don't know what they mean.

Re: wmv - mss2

The original video size is 804 x 632 and you're using Xv? Chances are that the Xv driver of your video card cannot handle it, happens to me too on intel 855. Does it crash with mplayer -vo x11 ?

Re: wmv - mss2

With mplayer -vo x11 the video plays fine   big_smile Thanks man

But what is xv? and why am I using it? I don't recall me changing anything in mplayer.

Xv stands for the XVideo extension. It allows the X server to perform some computationally intensive tasks (scaling of video, colorspace conversions) in the graphics card. The x11 option does all these tasks in software (thus consuming more CPU power). Xv is the default option because the hardware acceleration makes it much faster than x11, but x11 can be fine if you have a powerful CPU or don't scale the video.

It seems that the Xv driver on some cards cannot handle high resolution videos. My card (intel 855) plays DVD content (resolution 720×576) fine, but chokes on 800x600 videos.
