HI,
i am trying to play a video in xine. i found out that the video is in the "Microsoft DV" codec. I don't know where to get this codec; I have tried getting the mainconcept dv codec, and sticking the dll in /usr/lib/win32. i really don't know what do do here, if there are tools to convert this movie to a better codec, then that is an option, or if anyone can tell me where to get the codec, and what files to put where that would be great, or if there is a way in xine to manually select the mainconcep one that would be great,
thanks in advance
-Matt
