[MPlayer-users] homepage doesn't explain qt3 usage good enough

Hi,

This is meant to be a note for Gabucino. I can read this on the homepage:
"Just follow the QT Howto, download the codecs (disregard libwine)" while
the linked textfile is only about wine, so when I disregard it, nothing
remains :)

I think there should be something else, like this:

1.
--
Get the quicktime dlls from this file
ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/qt-dotwine.tar.bz2 and copy them
to your win32 directory (/usr/lib/win32 by default).

2.
--
Update mplayer from cvs (RTFM).

3.
--
(Re)compile mplayer with the --enable-qtx-codecs option.

4.
--
Enjoy...

Maybe some information, about using the -vid option (I figured it's
necessary).

Bye,
Padre
