LorKorub:
Why not just use Xine?  It runs just about all video formats, and it is availible through apt (which will solve all dependency problems.)

First, if you are using Red Hat or SuSE, or anything else that supposrts RPMs (I don't know if Mandrake is supported yet) you will need to read this, as posted by the main-man himself:

http://forum.fuckmicrosoft.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=001077

To get it running, once it is installed, read this:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/index.en.html

After that, it is just a matter of typing two things: "apt-get update" and then "apt-get install xine-ui"

Butter....

lorKorub, i'm running slackware, which doesn't have apt-get,and doesn't like rpms too much.

currently, it tells me that whatever file i open is in an unsupported format. more specifically "========= Sorry, this file format is not recognized/supported ============ === if this file is an avi, asf, mpeg stream, please contact the author! ==="i'll try the same files on another machine, and it will work fine. but if you are looking for one in particular: http://www.pureacidmixtapes.com/sound/ram/may-energy.ram

and yeah, i used the --with-reallibdidr switch, and it said at the end of the configuration script that support for real had been included...

thanks, i really appreciate you guys helping me.

distortion:
sorry, i kinda want to get an answer on this before this thread dies...so do you guys not have an answer on this.

voidmain:
Did you download the win32 codecs from MPlayer HQ? And did you stick them in the directory where MPlayer looks for them?

distortion:
yes, and they're in the /usr/lib directory.
