 I suspect that you don't have the appropriate codecs/decoders installed
 for this particular wmv file. I've run into situations where one .wmv
 file will play, while another will not. I have always assumed that they
 must be coded in two different versions, and I only have the decoder
 software for one of the versions.
 
 If you haven't already done so, you might go to the MPlayer site and
 download the package of codecs that's labeled something like basic or
 all the base formats (or whatever it's called), and unzip them into
 /usr/local/lib/codecs (which I have as a symlink to /usr/local/lib/win32).
 

i found them in 'essential-20050216.tar.bz2' but only have the file, not the 
url...  I suppose a google for the file name might yield the site..

I assume you mean that you've learned you need that file, not that you
have it. It's available at:
