 <UL>
 <LI>SIGILL (signal 4) on P3 using 2.2.x kernels:<BR>
 Problem: kernel 2.2.x doesn't have proper (working) SSE support<BR>
 Solution: upgrade kernel to 2.4.x<BR>
 Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse</LI>
 <LI>General SIGILL (signal 4):<BR>
 Problem: you compiled and run mplayer in different machines
-(for example compiled on P3 and running on celeron)<BR>
+(for example compiled on P3 and running on Celeron)<BR>
 Solution: compile MPlayer on the same machine where you will use it!<BR>
 Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse etc. options</LI>
 <LI>"Internal buffer inconsistency" during MEncoder run:<BR>
 Problem: known problem when lame &lt; 3.90 was compiled with gcc 2.96 or 3.x.<BR>
 General audio delay or jerky sound (exists with all or many files):
 <UL>
 <LI>most common: buggy audio driver! - try to use different drivers, try
 ALSA 0.9 OSS emulation with -ao oss, also try -ao sdl, sometimes it helps.
-If your file plays fine with -nosound, then you can be sure it's soundcard
+If your file plays fine with -nosound, then you can be sure it's sound card
 (driver) problem.</LI>
 <LI>audio buffer problems (buffer size badly detected)<BR>
 Workaround:  mplayer -abs option</LI>
 <LI>samplerate problems - maybe your card doesn't support the samplerate
 used in your files - try the resampling plugin (-aop)</LI>
-<LI>slow machine (cpu or vga)<BR>
+<LI>slow machine (CPU or VGA)<BR>
 try with -vo null, if it plays well, then you have slow VGA card/driver<BR>
 Workaround: buy a faster card or read this documentation about how to speed up<BR>
 Also try -framedrop</LI>

 and/or</LI>
 <LI>-delay option or +/- keys at runtime to adjust delay</LI>

 If none of these help, please upload the file, we'll check (and fix).

 <LI>your file uses an unsupported video codec<BR>
 Workaround: read the documentation and help us adding support for it</LI>
 <LI>auto-selected codec can't decode the file, try to select another using -vc or -vfm options</LI>
-<LI>you try to play DivX 3.x file with opendivx decoder or XviD (-vc odivx) - install Divx4Linux and recompile player</LI>

 <P>OSD/sub flickering:<BR>
