I'm not sure how many hours it would take for the machine to run out of
memory due to mplayer,  but i know it will consume hundreds of MB of
memory on dvd rips during the course of the movie.  Perhaps it's not the
file loading part but freeing the decoded video data, since the larger
resolution of dvd would consume much more memory than tv
resolution...assuming you're not talking about such clips....god that
would be a huge waste of space :)   

I'm just saying,  I see the memory consumption much more quickly than
mulitple hours of playing but more testing needs to be done and by more
people.   

I've attached my configure output   ./configure --enable-gui

'config.h' and 'config.mak' contain your configuration options.
Note: If you alter theses files (for instance CFLAGS) MPlayer may no longer
      compile *** DO NOT REPORT BUGS if you tweak these files ***

'make' will now compile MPlayer and 'make install' will install it.
Note: On non-Linux systems you might need to use 'gmake' instead of 'make'.

Please check mtrr settings at /proc/mtrr (see DOCS/video.html#mtrr)


Check configure.log if you wonder why an autodetection failed (check whether the
development headers/packages are installed).

If you suspect a bug, please read DOCS/bugreports.html.
