All launch, and all ignore but show in the titlebars, the file selected,

I followed the
instructions there, made no diff. Now have 6 players
in the menu, but none work.
Define "none work". Does nothing launch at all? Do you get a "busy"
mouse cursor but no window opens? Does a window open but then it
crashes? Something else?
What happens if you launch the player from the command line?
mplayer myvideo.avi
protectng the many spaces filename with double quotes, gets

And I repeat, what the heck is a "moov atom"?
Will the players play *any* multimedia formats at all?
Not sure, I don't have a huge assortment stashed.
and mplayer plays one of the full screen
samples flawlessly.
