Aside from the GUI issue, I also have to compile what I d/l'ed, correct?
Was stumped there too.

If you downloaded the source, then yes. If you can find prebuilt packages,
then nope. Kanotix is a debian based distribution as far as I can tell. the
first thing I would try is doing "apt-get install mplayer". that will try to
look into the package repositories you have set in /etc/apt/sources.list
if it doesn't work, you will need to add new repositories to
/etc/apt/sources.list. take a look at that file, it's usually well commented
and might have repositories that you can simply uncomment. after doing that
or manually entering a new repository, you will need to run "apt-get update"
which will query the repositories for available packages. then, again try
"apt-get install mplayer". presuming you have the correct repositories
specified, it will find mplayer and it's dependencies, then install them.
mencoder should be a part of the mplayer package, if not, try "apt-get
install mencoder" for kicks, but i don't know if that works or is necessary.
apt-get is usefull for installing binary packages so you don't have to
compile them on your own.
alternately, you could find debian .deb packages somewhere online, download
them, and install them with the "dpkg" command. if i remember correctly, the
command would be something like "dpkg -i mplayer.deb" or whatever the actual
downloaded .deb package is called. This process should also check to see if
you have the needed dependencies in place, but won't automatically resolve
those dependencies.
good luck!

Okay, here's a question.
I find an interesting program at sourceforge.net
I downlaod a blah.tgz or blah.tar.gz.
I then say Extract to new directory named blah
I then got a lot of garbage-- it looks like a bunch of libraries and man,
po, src, etc, CVS subdirectories but no bloody app! What's the deal??

Normaly the following commands should do the job:
./configure
make
make install
The last one you have to do as root. With this method you loose the
advantage of the apt-system to smoothly remove the application if it's
not needed anymore. Sometimes a "make uninstall" is available.
Anyway the best was is to find a debian package for installing.
Just my two eurocents,

Opps I mixed up apt and dpkg. But the statement is the same: Find a
package for your distribution (either Kanotix or Debian).
*Says to himself* "Never post in newsgroups before having at least one
cup of coffee!" ;-)
So long,

If you can't get a binary for mplayer, it may be a pain to compile. You
could try avidemux:
http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/
Or transcode.
Personally, getting things to work with WINE was always a bigger pain
for me than compiling.

There is a program, IMGCON, posted in povray.binaries.utilities, that has a
linux version [haven't tested the linux version yet, but the windows
version works fine].
(http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.utilities/thread/%3Cweb.42302cb4bb0c8108693a417a0%40news.povray.org%3E/)
http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/~yongyue/imgcon.html
It creates a raw AVI file, which can be re-encoded with your favourite linux
encoding program (maybe mencoder?) or transferred to a Windows machine
(probably gzipped or bzipped, since it'll be huge) and encoded there.
This isn't one app per se, but if you batch two programs together that do
their job well, it might give better results than one program doing both
jobs not-so-well. *shrugs*

Apparently, I was mistaken when writing this message. Apparently, imgcon
only creates avi's under Windows. =.="
As for compiling mplayer, there should be a debian compile script (read the
INSTALL or README in the mplayer source directory) for a deb that you can
install. Or, you can read the docs for mplayer, and download the -dev
packages for the required libraries via apt-get and/or aptitude (that's the
way I did it). Most of the required libraries (e.g. libpng0-dev IIRC) are
available through apt/dpkg, and will be found by mplayer's ./configure
script if installed that way. At least that's what I found when using
Debian Woody (3.0) and Sarge (3.1); I don't know about any variants. If
done right (you usually need a recent e.g. 3.4.x version of gcc, among
other utilities) then the compile + install is generally flawless.
Although if your machine is older, you have to be a bit patient.

dang! there's no easy way to delete a post created through the web
interface!
I figured out they meant "apt-get install mplayer-586."
