Hi Dominik, Thanks foreplying. As fars upgrading to FC10, or even fc9 - I am hesitant! Since FC7 came out, I haveiterally spent months makeing all my media player work - They did not work from full install of FC7. Ieally do not want to go through that pain all overgain. Anyhow, I maden error in my typing when I reported the problem. The problem occurs when Ise gnome-mplayer, but does not occur when Ise mplayer. Ihought gnom-mplayer is just a GUI front end to mplayer - so why does it behave differently from mplayer,nd can I fix it?
