Seems to be Windows Media file, MP4 is the container I think the .3g2 is the
WM part.
wmplayer=Windows Media player?
Play on Linux is Wine, (POL)
w9ndows Media player probably works with POL and/or wine.
Handbrake claims to transcode any format, I use it on my DVD collection..works
great.

Re: [solved] mplayer2 fails to load libraries
I had just done a dist-upgrade in Sid and got the mplayer error.
Package libdvdnav4 was installed but libdvdnav.so.4.1.2 not
in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu!
So I copied the symlink and the lib from the deb...
And then did ln -s libdvdnav.so.4.1.2 libdvdnavmini.so.4
and mplayer was back...
But my copy of it is in the /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu subdir.
I'll give this a try.
And I think it works, the *.* version plays something, but it wasn't
the saved file. Clicking on the file in kmail gets me a requester or 3
complaining about the skin, and eventually fails w/o playing the
targeted file from a kmail click on the attachment.
But the saved file does play, so the "skin" error seems to be the
thing now.
And the /home/gene/Desktop/wmplayer.Desktop appears to have been
overwritten by PlaysonLinux. After installing it, it didn't work, so I
figured the whole thing was duff although not a peep out of clamscan.
But how best to restore that file?
The bad file has been there long enough that the good one has aged out of
my amanda backups already.
