6. If you have speed problems (too slow playing), then please first check that:
- - you don't use OpenGL driver while have software-only opengl (DRI disabled,
- or not yet installed, conflicting libs installed, or your hardware not
- supported etc...)

- you have set up MTRR registers properly (many new cards are really
slow without setting up MTRR registers. it's NOT done by X 3.3.x! Also,
there are older K6-2's, which lack MTRR support /stepping=0/).

- to play AVI files with VBR MP3 audio use the -mc 0 option!
- no sound at all: check that you have working OSS driver (/dev/dsp),
and it isn't used by another program (for example esd, xmms etc.)
+ - use OSS. If the problem persists, use ALSA ;)
8. unsupported codecs (AVI files):
- We may add support for your movie, but we need the following things:
- - the codec DLL file: find it in your WINDOWS directory. In the SYSTEM.INI
- there will be a listing of the installed codecs (vids.<codecname>=DLLfile)
- - a sample file encoded with that codec.
+ Check DOCS/CODECS
