I am trying to decode some legacy Canopus HQ files I have usign MPLayer. The list of supported codecs seems to indicate that both Canopus HQ and Canopus Lossless are supported. I installed the Canopus driver from http://www.thomson-canopus.jp/download/codec_option_pb.htm in my WinXP 32bit machine and copied the corresponding dll files to my linux (Kubuntu 9.10) /usr/lib/win32 directory. Here is the output I get: MPlayer SVN-r30501-4.4.1 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team Playing canopus_file.avi. AVI file format detected.

It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
