So I'll conclude that > mplayer works and there is something wrong in my program :) Yesterday I asked for help on #theora, and the nice folks there told me to try player_example from libtheora-svn, because player_example in libtheora-1.1.1 doesn't work with 4:4:4 files. I tried it, and my files were played correctly (so my program was okay, if anyone is interested in the source code, here it is: http://mywing.altervista.org/linux/theora444.tgz ). Sadly, this means that MPlayer svn can't play Theora 4:4:4 files correctly. Since Theora is free software and in my opinion is important to use open standars, it would be nice if MPlayer supported this feature. Thank you. Giorgio Vazzana
