I'm curious why you suggest to install the windows-essential archive
rather than the Linux one? Have you noticed any difference in
behaviour?
The website says that one should pick the package meant for your CPU and
OS. I can see a few differences in the archive contents, ones that each
other doesn't have:
Linux has
drvc.so
dspr.so.6.0
sipr.so.6.0
tokf.s.6.0
tokr.so.6.0
vid_3ivX.xa
Windows has
drv33260.dll
drv43260.dll
pncrt.dll
sipr3260.dll
tokr3260.dll
vmnc.dll
I never did manage to get Linux to properly play a real media file that
I tried, a while ago, no matter what I did. It would play sound, but
not the picture. I eventually got mplayer installed on Windows Vista to
play it, though.
