I have a video file with the IMM4 video codec and the .avi extension. It came with a "player.exe" file for Windows to play it, but it won't play in any of my linux video players. I've downloaded a copy of vcmimm4.dll from the mplayer codecs archive because, as I understand it, there is no IMM4 codec for VLC. My only problem is that I'm not quite sure where to put this file for MPlayer to use it. As it is, when I try using mplayer to play it I get the following output. For the record I have tried both the "mplayer" package from the default Debian repos and the "mplayer2" package from debian-multimedia.
Code:
