[MPlayer-users] problem with SVQ1 codec

[Apostolos Syropoulos]

    Hello,

    I have compiled MPlayer 0.90rc5-3.2.3 on a Solaris 9 x86 box without
any problem. It works almost perfectly: I have watched DVDs, ASF files,
etc. However, I do have problems with Sorenson SVQ1 files. Mplayer can
only playback the sound but there is no video. Here is what I get:

$ mplayer -vc svq1 trailer_final_480_dl.mov
