Get mplayer from cvs or a nightly tarball, and download libavcodec
(ffmpeg) from ffmpeg.sf.net. Check DOCS/codecs.html on how to install
it. After that try playing the movie with -vc ffdivx. If you have an x86
box you have forgotten to install the win32 codecs in /usr/lib/win32
prior to running mplayers configure.
