I don't know; presumably there is something wrong with that build's
libavcodec support. I don't have access to a windows machine at the
moment so I can't help you with that directly. I would suggest you do
one or more of the following:

* Try somebody else's build.
* Bring the problem to Gianluigi's attention directly.
* Compile your own MPlayer.
* Switch to an OS with a better development environment and compile your
own MPlayer.

Sorry I can't address your problem more specifically.
