Well that was interesting, I assumed you meant the
mplayer http://www.windriders.co.uk/video/eastbourne2007small.wmv
command, below is the output, I was surprised when mplayer started playing (and
complained). Trying to run mplayer via the gui just fails, does not give any
errors.
For the record the PC is a AMD Athlon XP (1.7ghz) 1gbm memory with an onboard
S3
Savage video.
The quit bit at the bottom of the output is where I closed the video

Your system is too SLOW to play this!
Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
- Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
- Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
- Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
- Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try some of the lavdopts,
e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all.
- Broken file
- Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
- Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved

I can play the video locally providing I use Gnome Mplayer although the play back is very choppy. Trying to use Mplayer on its own I only get audio, if I try Xine it complains about unsupported codec WVP2 but plays the audio.
