plugins for opera

I've been trying to get media plugins to work in Opera (since Firefox 3.0 Beta is freezing up my computer when I try to play trailers on Apple's website). In fiddling around, it seems that Opera is referencing my Mozilla directory to use the plugins I have there. I used Synaptic to install "mplayerplug-in" so I could use mplayer to play videos online.

it does play the videos...but I only get sound and a black popup window which opens up and blocks part of my screen. irritating, to say the least.

oh well, I'm gonna keep fiddling with this...let you know what works out in the end...
