I hope that you created a new entry and did not edit an existing one. Also, 
you think that this "atidvcr.dll" is the codec you want, but you need to be 
sure. Try downloading GSpot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/). It will tell 
you which codecs are needed to play your file.

Can you play the file in a player other than ATI Multimedia
TV Recorder, such as Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic?


Other than that:

1) Upgrade your MPlayer to the CVS version
2) Read the codecs section of the manual thoroughly. Check out the list of 
supported codecs. Find out how to discover the info that you need to create 
a codecs.conf entry.
3) Can you upload a small piece of the file? The first 1 MB should be enough 
for me.
