And after you get it installed, you've got to to configure it. Unfortunately, mol's manpages and info in /usr/share/doc/mol leaves a bit to be desired. Try the mol website:

Good luck

mol's always leaves a lot to be desired too. Everytime I go there there is a note posted about their instructions being out of date, and they are! Their page is a headache! I've resorted to staying away from mol and learning to use linux. I think mol is a handicap for the dev of linux-ppc soudn and video apps as mol is a cop to improving linux-ppc sound and video apps to acceptable levels. I gather that if people spent more time actually testing rather than using OS X thru mol, then we'd get better linux-ppc apps. chascon

i had to add the people.debian.org to make it work. how do you config it i think its like molconfig or something very similar to that then you run the test and config it to your res v simply. if not search for help on YDL website they tell you how to do it.
