You can also look at the codecs offered on Mplayer's site, they cover nearly all things I've ever tried to play

Cool

Hi

Take a look at http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/documentation.html .

Also you said you installed mplayer, then looked for the codecs, well you have to have the codecs installed before you install mplayer, so you should probably have to reinstall mplayer. If you look at the documentation it gives fairly good help regarding the various codecs you can use.

You must download the codecs from www.mplayerhq.hu and then put then uncompressed in /usr/local/lib/win32

Download the pakage from the mplayer home page, or even easier, use apt-get install to get all tha pakages in rpm

Hope it helps
