Is there a program that will play these files? I've tried aviplay but it doesn't load them.

Actually mplayer works better than xine, I just prefer xine's gui. But mplayer's build process is one of the worst in existence :evil:, so I have somewhat of a vendetta against them.

glad to hear it, I'm kinda loving mplayer, but would try xine if it was better. The build, a pain, just emerge mplayer :lol: . Never let a vendetta get in the way of a good decision. :wink:

I play wmv fine with mplayer, that's the same as the old asf I think, so that should work fine.

building mplayer is not that hard, just read the docs or just emerge mplayer but then you have the default settings, skin and fonts. I prefer mplayer, but that doesn't mean Xine is bad, I've been using it too for some time.

Good luck,

PS: If there's something evil, it's M$ ASF and WMV, not mplayer ok ;)
