Only strange thig is, where does the value come from? It does not look 
like a radom value to me. But i do not know the default value gcc will 
give to an (uninitialized) local variable of the type HRESULT. MSDN does 
not tell me the header to look for the definition fo HRESULT.

I have spent the last 1 1/2 years coding in Java, most of my limited 
c-knowledge is gone.

I am using MinGW for compiling and MSys as small POSIX-environment. One 
can do more things in MSys bash than in MS cmd. Unless you spezify only 
relativ paths in ./confiuger, e.g. for the date-dir or codecs-dir, MinGW 
builds will try to use standard paths known from unix/linux/cygwin etc, 
too, when started in MSys bash. Have a look e.g. at the paths, where 
MinGW-compiled mplayer looks for codecs.conf
mplayer -v

Yes, you are right. In the beginning, I spezifiyed no guids at all, 
later on the wrong once from VSSH
-> In both cases I get a CLASS_E_CLASSNOTAVAILABLE.
After putting the correckt guids in codecs.conf (see post from comp), 
the error code changed once more.

ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec CoreAVCDecoder.ax.
Warning: DS_Filter() source format is not accepted. 
(DLL=CoreAVCDecoder.ax, r=0x1)

There we are stuck right now.
