[MPlayer-cygwin] mingw compile/mplayer binary codecs question

[Compn]

i compiled a mingw mplayer with binary real support, with i believe
--with-codecsdir=/c/programs/mplayer/codecs but playing anything gives me

Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x30335652.
Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html!

is there anyway to find out where mplayer is trying to find the codec?

the codecs are there, and the dir is linked as a system PATH...
i know its probably built wrong, but i would like to find out where
i specified the codecs. (maybe get it to show up with -v -v -v or something?)
other mplayers in the same dir work fine... codecs.conf is fine... help?
