First!

Thanks for this how-to. I'm an old guy and I no virtually nothing about computers. Yet, this worked like a charm... and I only just installed Linux (Ubuntu Feisty Fawn) yesterday! Sweet! (do the kids still say that?)

Hooper: I am glad this helped you as well :) Basically most open source windows compilations are similar to this one, or by using CYGWIN. And yes, kids, teenagers, and adults say 'sweet' :)

Brother Mohamed,

I am trying to using MPlayer in one of my project, however, I can not open any international filename (eg: filename that are displayed in Arabic, Hindi or Thai in windows explorer). Have you try opening such a file and if so, could you please help me in my little predicument?

Thank you in advance,

Sornantha

Hey,

In theory, it should play. I don't know what would have caused this but, did you install the language files for Arabic, Hinidi, Thai on your windows? Try installing those language packs and I assume it will work. Cause I have Windows Vista, Ubuntu and I can read utf-8 filenames from arabic to chinese.
