I can't remember many of the details, but it was quite a pain (alot of configuring, and editing scripts, cp, ln, and such) to get the older version to work. This version just unzip win32codec, ./configure, make, make install. cp MPlayer-0.17a_IdegCounter/DOCS/codecs.conf ~/.mplayer/ and that was it. -s
