More persistent screen adjustments are also done from within the 'mplayer.conf' configuration file using three variables called '''gxzoom''' (zoom, where higher values yield lower zoom levels), '''vert_pos''' (vertical offset), and '''hor_pos''' (horizontal offset).

+==FAQ==
+
+===HELP! Some files play back choppy!===
+Are you trying to play an h.264 encoded video and/or high defenition video? The Wii just doesn't have the hardware to handle it. For more information, see http://code.google.com/p/mplayer-ce/wiki/h264
+
+===Turning off frame skipping makes some files play back smooth but the audio goes out of sync!===
+The Wii is just not powerful enough to handle high compression/high definition content smoothly and still keep the audio in sync.
+
+===Why won't my USB storage device work?===
+First, make sure your hard drive is formatted as FAT12, FAT16, OR FAT32.
+
+Most devices are supported by the library being used to provide usbstorage access, but some do not work due to various reasons such as noncompliance to standards. Such devices usually require special drivers to work and it would be an arduous task to track them all and write support for all of them. You can blame the manufacturers.
+
+===Why isn't NTFS supported?===
+MPlayer CE uses libfat to read from FAT filesystems and it would need a similar library to read from NTFS. No such library has been written. Support for NTFS can be enabled through linux, but MPlayer CE does not run on top of wii linux. It is a direct port.
+
+===Why don't my RM and RMVB files work?===
+The wii uses PPC architecture. Newer Real Video encoded files (rmvb and some rm) only have support libraries written for x86 architecture availible.
