Re: [gentoo-user] ffmpeg front-end recommendations?

I tried that yesterday, but it didnt appear to load the video.  It sat
there trying to load, eating 99% of the CPU for about 20 mins.  The file
is only 136MB's and I wouldnt expect it to take that long on an AMD 2800
w/1GB ram.  It looked promising, but didnt seem to work.  The Mplayer
info on the file is below:
