[MPlayer-cygwin] Fast CoreAVC DShow H264 decoder - Need help

[Stefan Gürtler]

OK, I am getting somewhere now.
After reading the output of
./mplayer.exe -codecs-file /home/Stefan/mplayer/codecs.conf -vc help
I realiesed that there is no coreAVC.
So i reworked the codecs.conf

;=============================================================================
;  Default codecs config file. It replaces the old codecs.c file!

Now I do get some response from mplayer, but no video up to now:

$ ./mplayer.exe -vc coreavc -codecs-file 
/opt/mplayer_coreavc/etc/mplayer/codec
s.conf /d/Import/nasa_shuttle_m720p.mov

You need to upgrade/install the binary codecs package.
Go to http://mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html
VDecoder init failed :(
Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x31637661.
Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html!

Is there a way to check the path, under which path mplayer looks for the 
binary codecs? I did not see any hinds in mplayer verbose output. And 
scanning through mplayer manpage I did not find a parameter to set the 
path from the comandline.
