need the win32codecs package and that should fix it. i believe the
mplayer homepage has it available. or your package management system
might have it available depending on what distro your running. also some
wmv files still cannon be viewed because they have that encoding thing
that microsoft does. dont remember what its called. but most should run
fine.
