I have received a WMV video a friend sent me and am trying to look at it.

Xine issues an error message saying "Error loading library: wmvdmod.dll"

In Xine's main screen I see:
ASF 320x240 MS MS WMV 9 (win32) 390 kBit/s
65 kBit/s MS Windows Media Audio 2 (ffmpeg)

Audio can be heard correctly.

Can I install a WMV codec for this in Debian ?

Thank you,
Bob

Sorry,
I forgot the most important part ... Googling I have found some codecs
from the mplayer site but if I copy them as instructed in the
/usr/lib/win32 directory (I had to create manually) the output is
totally scrambled :(

Also tried to cpoy only the wmvdmod.dll but same thing. Looks lay
crypted pay-tv :( and gxine becomes somewhat unresponsive ...

Hi Bob,
--------------------------------------------------------------------
kevin(a)debian:~$ apt-file search wmvdmod.dll
w32codecs: usr/lib/win32/wmvdmod.dll
kevin(a)debian:~$
--------------------------------------------------------------------
so this is in the w32codecs packages. IIRC this is not in debian but at
the xine site.

It's possible that the file is 'encrypted'.

Thank you Kevin. Adding Marillat's source to sources.list made me
download the codec pack.

Unfortunately the problem of the "scrambled" video output persists.
Maybe I will boot to XP (would be the first time in a month or so) to
ensure that at least under XP they show OK.
