[MPlayer-users] Re: libxvidcore.so.4 for SuSE 9.0?

[Jens Kjaerulff]

I found an RPM:
"xvidcore-1.0.0-0.rc2.1.fr.rpm"

at
http://yarrow.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=729

which allegedly includes libxvidcore.so.4

It is apparently for RedHat (I use SuSE), but it let me install MPlayer.

Thanks for all the good suggestions. 

Best regards
