Sascha,

Thanks for your help.

I have uploaded two DvVA-enabled different decoders on the ftp 
site - CinemasterVideo_bin.DLL and ivivideo.ax. There
is a CinemasterVideo.DLL too but I am not sure if I tranferred 
it in 'binary' mode. 

It will be really useful to know if mplayer can use these 
decoders under Windows.

If you need any more details, please let me know.

Thanks again,
Harshal
