[MPlayer-users] problem with MPEG-4 H.263

[Miroslaw Dach]

Hi All,

	I have downloaded the MPlayer1.0pre8 and successfully built it on my 
Scientific Linux 3 (kernel 2.4.21-32.0.1.ELsmp) PC platform.

I have installed also the mplayer-codecs-20061022-1 and 
mplayer-codecs-extra-20061022-1 codes to the /usr/lib/codecs

The MPlayer works with some video formats but it does not work with MPEG-4 
H.263 stream what is the key issue for me.

The output of the MPlayer is as following:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought that it is the issue of the avisynth.dll and I have installed 
one but than the MPlayer did not work any better.

I have read more about the rtsp protocol and I have found that it might 
refer to the  live555 package. I have installed one and successfully built 
it. So far so good.

It was written in the instruction that I have to rebuild my MPlayer. I did 
as following:

./configure --with-codecsdir=/usr/lib/codecs/ --enable-live 
--with-livelibdir=/usr/local/live/

make

Right now I am lost. I would appreciate very much some hints how to resolve 
this problem and to have the ability to view the MPEG-4 H.263 streams.

Best Regards
