it depends on how you installed mplayer, from source or through a package.

You also didn't specify the distro you are using.. for example.. that functionality comes with Arch

And many of them can be installed with whatever the package tool is for your distro.

Get wincodecs-something or wincodecs-essential-something if you installed from source (which I doubt). For the rpm it is mplayer-codecs-win32... (http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/linux/...-optional.html
