sorry, 

but i do not understand you people. I use MeWig and
the mingw build from the mplayer website.(
http://www2.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32/MPlayer-mingw32-1.0pre7.zip)
  
  I have used it to  play and encode files > 5Gigs!!!!
   on winxp ( yes I did, generated by mplayer
dumpstream). so what do you mean by the fact that
mingw does not support largefiles????
What is the definition of a largefile then. ???
