[MPlayer-cygwin] How to import RealMediaSplitter.ax into codecs.conf

[John Brown]

Hello All,

I am trying import the RealMedia Splitter DirectShow filter into my
codecs.conf. After reading codecs.conf.txt, I tried to create a new
entry based on the rv40win videocodec. See below my new videocodec
section called rmsvideo (RealMediaSplitter video). In comments are the
different GUIDs that I tried, and the error message reported by MPlayer
when each GUID was used.

RealMediaSplitter.ax is located in %windir%\system32, and is
successfully used by Windows Media Player to play RealMedia files
