This seems to be arising because all the video players are in a constant state 
of flux. Realplayer on the BBC site is now 10.5, but it is difficult to get 
hold of this. I take the point about Mplayer but wonder which codec packs you 
are indicating. I tried to install various codec packs last weekend and still 
kept getting messages that all of the necessary components were not included. 
Do you have a an address on the pack that you consider the most 
comprehensive ?
