Your command to do the actual conversion is fine.  The problem is that 
mplayer can't read the input file - the file uses a codec called 
'indeo4xa' which is not recognized.  You need to set up mplayer with 
win32 binary codec support.

Go here:  http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html  Search down the 
page for "Binary Codec Packages" and install the one that is applicable 
to your system.
