I am sure you would find this info on the mplayer site itself. Anyway: /usr/lib/win32

Best not install from the tar file but from RPM but I think they are normally put in /usr/lib/win32 Better use yum or apt or smart to get it from a repository. This way you're sure that when updates are available that you also get them.

Tnx both of you
Alexander, my question arose from a README reading that made me very confused, saying that some distributions put codecs here and other distribution there (do you know what I mean...) Marcel, where do i get RPM for essential and add-on codecs?
Tnx

You'll find it here : http://dl.atrpms.net/fc4-i386/atrpms/RPMS.stable/ (name is w32codec)
The best is to add the atrpms repository to your yum installation or install smart and let yum/smart handle the installation.

Well things are not as bad as I thought. I can view mpegs and videos but not the ones from cnn and msnnbc. Both of thoes insist on Windows media player. Any suggestions?

That's because some stupid web designer made it to only play on windows. Probably this could be overcome by having kaffeine or another player behave like windows media player, assuming that it can play the video using the available codec.

I have added this codec, installed mplayer, mplayer-libs and mplayer-plugin rpms and still www.cnn.com videos demand the Windows Media Player. Has anyone ever got this to work for news videos?

It works here. And I installed w32codec from Rpm in /usr/lib/win32....

/usr/local/lib/codecs is the place where the Mplayer README recommends but others use /usr/local/lib/win32/codecs/ or some thing like that. I would recommend /usr/local/lib/codecs because they also recommend that. If you use the later you would have to link the directory to map over there.

Antonio
