I am testing Lubuntu 12.04 RC in an IBM Thinkpad T41 without pae but with sse2 and a Dell Dimension 4600 with pae and sse2. The default video player Mplayer crashes in these machines, but it works *very well* in my 64-bit machines. None of these computers have sse3 (but all have sse2).
The video clip was made with my video camera and was processed with ffmpeg. It contains no sub-titles, only audio and video streams. VLC can play the file in all these computers.
The reason why I file this bug is that I am do not think it is the same as the one reporting about lack of sse3, and I wanted to show the output to the terminal window as it is now (it has changed during the beta testing phase, probably because of some debugging effort).

MPlayer interrupted by signal 4 in module: read_subtitles_file
- MPlayer crashed by an 'Illegal Instruction'.
It usually happens when you run it on a CPU different than the one it was
compiled/optimized for.
Verify this!
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
