i run rpm -Uvh mplayer-common-1.0pre3-1.i386.rpm mplayer-gui-1.0pre3-1.i386.rpm mplayer-skin-default-1.0-2.noarch.rpm to install mplayer and the gui and get a failed dependency. libmp3lame.so.0 is needed by mplayer-gui-1.0pre3-1. Could someone point me to where libmp3lame.so.0 would be located? And/Or how to point it out to the program? And/Or where should it go when i dl it? Thanks a bunch, hopefully a quick fix..only one little dependency .
Thanks, got the dependency fixed. now i have to deal with this:
It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.
Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support and read DOCS/HTML/en/devices.html#xv!
See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. Try -vo x11
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
Not quite sure what that all means, but ill try to make sense of it. Help would be very much appreciated.

Why don't you just try to compile from source? It's easy and you can get past a lot of those "dependencies" because you don't need all of it, although now I do have to recompile wil libmp3lame because it didn't and I'm trying to encode movies now and I can't encode the audio with mp3 which kinda sucks.

whats wrong with using lavc to encode the audio? is it much better to code using lame?

No idea, but I know that lame is a good mp3 encoder and my only choice now is copy so any way that I can compress it more the better because I care more about the visuals then the audio.
