Totally unnecessary. The mplayerhq developers always recommend the libavcodec video processing library from the ffmpeg (sourceforge) project. This will be autodectected if you have a proper libavcodec/ directory within your mplayer build tree. An mplayer release tarball includes this. With mplayer CVS you have to extract the appropropriate subdirectory from ffmpeg CVS. Also, opendivx is deprecated: $ ./configure --help | grep opendivx --enable-opendivx enable _old_ OpenDivx codec [disable] Note the emphasis the ./configure script's emphasis on _old_. The preferred way to play DivX is with libavcodec. > I downloaded all the w32 codecs from mplayerhq.hu and placed > them in /opt/mplayer-common/lib/codecs.
